About the Item

Ink on gold. This continuation of equine grace unfolds across a stunning gold-leaf backdrop, capturing the essence of nobility that horses represent in Japanese lore. The screen depicts these majestic creatures amidst nature, their silhouettes etched with artistic precision that conveys both movement and stillness. Horses in Japanese art are often symbols of wealth and prestige, and this screen is a testament to that tradition, offering a glimpse into the cultural reverence for these animals. Being unsigned, this screen echoing the style of Kano Tanshin. Here is the information about him: Kano Tanshin Morimasa (1653-1718) was the son of Kano Tanyu (1602-1674) by his second wife. Tanyu had originally planned for Kano Toun Masanobu to succeed him as head of his Kajibashi Kano branch; the late birth of his son, however, altered that plan. Upon his father’s death in 1674, Tanshin became head of the Kajibashi. He painted in the manner of his father; his work characterized by a light, carefree style, with an exquisite sense of color. Tanshin received the honorary Buddhist title of Hogan (eye of the law) in 1715. This tea-ceremony screen predates that.
