About the Item

Takakura Zaiko (fl.1854-1860) Birds and flowers of the seasons Geese in Fields Ink and color on silk Unframed Seal: Taka Zaiko no in Dimensions: H 39” x W 16.5” (100 cm x 42.5 cm) Bird and flower paintings by the artist Takakura Zaiko. Each personifies the canons of the Hara School of art, whose works are generally described as precise, elegant and decorative. Painted with brilliant pigments on silk, each lavish painting demonstrates a remarkable level of proficiency. These works were painted to enchant and delight the classically educated aristocracy, to who seasonal indicators and the identification and appreciation of flora and fauna were of great importance. The Hara artists were imperial court painters holding aristocratic positions within the ranks of the court. They contributed paintings to various temples and shrines, as well as to the Kyoto Imperial Palace. Many of their paintings were stored in prominent Kyoto temples frequented predominantly by the nobility. As a result, their works were not available to the general public and to this day remain less well-known than paintings by their contemporaries. The Hara school was founded by Hara Zaichu, who combined elements of Kano, Tosa, Ming, Qing and Maruyama to create a style of painting that was admirably suited to the needs of the court. Hara Zaichu studied the painting techniques of the then dominant Kano School under Ishida Yutei (1721–86). Zaichu also took advantage of access to Ming and Qing period Chinese paintings in the collections of Kyoto shrines and temples. Zaichu studied alongside Maruyama Okyo (1733–95) who was also a strong influence on his style. Takakura Zaiko (fl.1854-1860). It is generally accepted that he was a student of Hara Zaichu (1750-1837), though some scholars suggest that he studied under Hara Zaimei (1778-1844). He originally used the art name Shito, and later Zaiko and Kouso. He moved to Nagoya from Kyoto.

Japanese Painting, Hanging Scroll, 19th Century Bamboo in Moonlight

Located in Kyoto, JP

Bamboo in moonlight Gamo Rakan (1784-1866) Hanging scroll, ink on silk. Dimensions: Scroll: 201 cm x 58 cm Image: 137 cm x 45 cm In this early 19th century work by Gamo Rakan a light ink wash applied to the silk background silhouettes the moon and suggests the atmosphere of early evening. Even though it is a literati subject, Rakan’s bamboo is quite realistic with a strong decorative style. The painting finds its inspiration from Chinese Ming dynasty painters who often used a single-tone, jet black stroke to emphasize the calligraphic nature of bamboo. In a different era, decorative would have been seen as somewhat unrefined. But increasingly in the Edo period, it was the hallmark of high style. The Japanese people, in particular the rising merchant class, had gradually become apathetic toward the traditional Sesshu and Kano schools of painting. Chinese professional and amateur painters living in the port of Nagasaki during the 18th century had a profound effect on Japanese painting and the freshness of their style and its decorative appeal contributed greatly to its popularity. Gamo Rakan’s teacher, Tani Buncho...
