The private exchanges that resulted into deep cultural bond in modern times between India and Japan in general, and Bengal and Japan in particular, were the outcome of the great historical meet between Tenshin Okakura and Rabindranath Tagore in the year 1902. In these private exchanges the great talented painter Mukul Chandra Dey (1895-1985) is one of the important personalities. However, neither in India nor in Japan much work has been carried out on him. This prompted me to take up research on Mukul Dey and his connections with Japan. This work is a preliminary finding on him.
