About the Item

A six-panel Japanese folding screen from the leading Maruyama-Shijo artist Okamoto Toyohiko (1773-1845). Simply featuring three deer and a few sprigs of foliage on a sumptuous gold-leaf background this work emphasizes naturalistic expression and a masterful use of negative space. Reduced to its most basic elements, the blank spaces inspire imagination and evoke the smells, sounds and even the weather of the scene. Whilst deer are traditionally depicted in association with autumn, here the green growth on the tops of the foliage indicates the season of spring. The work references Maruyama Okyo’s two-panel deer screen in the Kyoto National Museum, and is similarly painted in color on gold-leaf. Although famed as a painter of landscapes, Toyohiko seemed particularly fond of and talented at painting naturalistic deer on a large scale. Among the more famous works by him depicting deer are a two-panel screen held at the Mitsui Memorial Museum and a two-fold screen at the Museum of Fine Arts Boston in which Toyohiko depicts a deer and Keibun depicts a pine tree. Okamoto Toyohiko (1773-1845) was the best pupil of Goshun and through him learned the emotional literary and landscape styles of painting. Toyohiko inherited the naturalist sketching style from Maruyama Okyo. He collaborated with the most senior painting masters of his time and was friendly with the Arisugawa family. Perhaps due to this association he received painting orders from the Imperial court and some of his works remain at the Shugakuin Imperial Villa. After Maruyama Okyo and Goshun founded the Kyoto based Maruyama-Shijo school, Matsumura Keibun and Okamoto Toyohiko successfully continued and secured the lineage. After Goshun’s death they opened their own art school and trained many disciples, among them Shibata Zeshin, Shiokawa Bunrin and Tanaka Nikka. Works by Okamoto Toyohiko are held in the Kyoto National Museum, British Museum, LACMA, Shizuoka Prefectural Museum of Art, Okayama Prefectural Museum of Art, Osaka City Museum of Art, Boston Museum of Fine Arts, Mitsui Memorial Museum and Shugakuin Imperial Villa.

Early 20th Century Japanese Cherry Blossom Screen by Kano Sanrakuki

Located in Kyoto, JP

Cherry Blossoms Kano Sanrakuki (1898-1981) Showa period, circa 1930 2-panel Japanese Screen Color, gofun and gold leaf on paper Against a backdrop of gold-leafed ground, the lichen covered trunk and branches of the life-sized cherry blossom tree reach out and beyond the confines of the pictorial surface. The overall composition has a feeling of flatness which draws emphasis to the surface and the three-dimensionality of the cherry blossoms. Painstakingly built-up layers of thickly applied shell-white gofun detail the voluminous blossoms and cover large areas of this tour-de-force of Japanese Nihonga painting. By simplifying the background, minimizing the number of colors and depicting the blossoms with such heavy relief, the artist has emphasized the stunning presence of the cherry tree. The type of tree depicted is the Yae-Zakura; a double-layered type of cherry blossom famed for its beauty and strength. When we think of Japanese cherry blossoms, the first thing that comes to mind is Somei Yoshino variety, which has a single flower with five almost white petals. This type is fragile and easily blown away by strong wind or rain. Most of the double-flowered cherry blossoms begin to bloom when the Somei-Yoshino falls, and the flowering period lasts longer than that of the Somei-Yoshino. Kano Sanrakuki originally studied painting at the Kyoto City Arts and Crafts School under the tutelage of Yamamoto Shunkyo...
