Yamamoto Kanae died in 1946. His paintings had not fallen in the public domain in Japan on Jan 1, 1996, and the copyright was restored in the USA until 2017. This nomination includes only the paintings which are not claimed to predate 1923.

    • Wow—even if this challenge is valid, is there any point in removing these images six months before the copyright would expire again? Curly Turkey (talk) 08:24, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
      •  Comment There is an ongoing discussion on the French project to nominate the article on this painter as a "good article" [1], which would imply featuring it on the main page. We are wondering if we should wait and until when to do so. — Racconish ☎ 08:35, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
        • Interesting—it looks like a translation of the article I wrote for the English Wikipedia. I haven't finished expanding it yet—I have a lot of information to add yet from Kosaki's biography, particularly in Kanae's later life. Curly Turkey (talk) 12:10, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Yamamoto Kanae died in 1946. His paintings had not fallen in the public domain in Japan on Jan 1, 1996 and the copyright was restored in the USA until 2017. This nomination includes only the paintings which predate 1923. Although the US copyright office clarifies that offering single copy works for sale in a gallery exhibit is not to be considered as publication [2], I have found no evidence of such exhibition of these paintings before 1923, in contrast with his "peasant art" multiples which were exhibited at the Mitsukoshi department store in 1920 [3].
