About the Item

Mori Tetsuzan (1775-1841) Pheasants and Cherry Blossoms Two-fold Japanese screen. Ink, color, gofun, gold and silver on paper. A two-fold Japanese bird and flower screen by the 19th century artist Mori Tetsuzan. The pheasants are rendered in a highly realistic style, owing to Tetsuzan’s careful observation of birds in nature. The delicate cherry blossoms and red leaves are also highly naturalistic, as is the twisting of the tree’s trunk and branches. These are gracefully contrasted with the simplified suggestions of the surrounding landscape, sparingly indicated and obscured by clouds of gold. Tetsuzan presents a warm world that captures the idyllic scenery in early spring. The scene encapsulates the popular Kyoto-based Maruyama-Shijo School style of painting in its fine balance of beautiful, deceptively simple design and detailed surface description. Like his teacher, Maruyama Okyo, Tetsuzan largely eschewed painting phoenixes, dragons and other mythological creatures, as his interest lay in the world around him. He tried to capture the charm of everyday scenes. Depicted here are a pair of Green Pheasants, the national bird of Japan. They inhabit the farmlands and marshes of most of Japan, and many live near villages and towns: they are a very familiar bird, particularly in pre-industrial Japan. Despite this they are not widely represented in Japanese painting, Chinese Golden and Silver Pheasants being far more common. Mori Tetsuzan (1775-1841) was the son of Mori Shuho (brother of Mori Sosen), and succeeded the family from Sosen. Together they formed a painting school known as the Mori school that was active in the Osaka area. Tetsuzan originally studied under Sosen, but later became a disciple of Maruyama Okyo. He is known as one of the ten disciples of Okyo. Tetsuzan passed his techniques on to Mori Kansai and Mori Ippo.

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...
