This is an important example of a Japanese artist directly copying a painting by the Chinese master Lu Ji.
The original Lu Ji painting (see images) is part of the famed Kuroda family treasures. The Kuroda family was a powerful samurai clan based in Fukuoka, Kyushu. The artist, OgataTomin would have been able to access this painting through his position in the Ogata school. Ogata school artists were in official service to the Fukuoka Domain and Ogata Tomin was the 9th hereditary head of that school. Ogata artists were also closely affiliated with the high-ranking Surugadai branch of the Kano school. Lu Ji’s bird-and-flower paintings graced not only the imperial courts of China, but also the halls of the feudal lords of Japan, where they exercised an important influence on the development of the Kano school of painting. Despite Lu Ji’s significant influence on Japanese painting, there are few such direct transmissions of his paintings, and this is a rare historical record of their appreciation in Japan.
Ogata Tomin (1839 -1895) is the first son of the painter Ogata Tanko. His given name was Moritsune and he originally studied under his grandfather Ogata Tosho. His grandfather took him to Edo (modern Tokyo) where he studied at the Surugadai Kano school. In 1866 he became the 9th generational head of the Ogata school, although the Meiji restoration of 1867 brought about the dissolution of the school soon thereafter. Lu Jì (c. 1429–c. 1505) was a court academy painter of China of the early Ming dynasty (1368–1644).
The painting is presently unmounted. It has been restored and prepared for mounting into a Western style frame.

It captures a momentary glimpse into a world both visually dazzling and startlingly realistic. The painting is infused with sensitivity and attention to seasonal change and weather conditions. The thin and fragile poppies are beautifully depicted with brilliant colors and the butterflies are similarly infused with life. The painting is on silk which requires extremely precise painting skills as no element once painted can be removed. Poppies were a favorite subject of Rinpa school artists through the ages. Originally they were somewhat abstracted but by the age of Sakai Hoitsu...Category

- Japanese Antique Ink Painting / 19th Century / Rare Chinese Character PaintingLocated in Sammu-shi, ChibaWe have a unique Japanese aesthetic sense. And only we can introduce unique items through our purchasing channels in Japan and the experience we have gained so far, in such a way that no one else can imitate. It is an ink painting written after the Meiji era. The biggest attraction of this work is that it uses Chinese characters to create paintings. To explain in detail, it is written here in Chinese characters as "un-ryu" . "Un" is a cloud and "ryu" is a dragon. These are embodied and drawn by comparing them to the meaning of Chinese characters. And the clouds depict the clouds hanging over the mountain, and the dragon depicts the climbing toward the mountain. Humorous paintings...Category

- Set of 6 Large Kakemonos Japanese Mythology, 19th Century Japan circa 1800 EdoLocated in Beuzevillette, FRBeautiful set of 6 large kakemonos from 19th century Japanese mythology. Paper support with a canvas pasted on the paper Wonderful set that is part of Japan's history and beliefs When not hung, the Kakemonos are rolled up. circa 1800 - Japan - Edo Period A kakemono translates as "object to hang". In Japan this refers to a painting or calligraphy, most often done on silk or paper framed in a scroll that was intended to be hung on walls or in public lighting. This particular form, which allows them to be in a roll, dates back to the Tang dynasty in China (this would be related to the copying and preservation of ancient Buddhist texts). A Kami is a deity or spirit worshipped in the Shinto religion. A Yokai is a spirit, ghost, demon, or strange apparition from the creatures of Japanese folklore. Each of these kakemonos represents a unique story: - A kami, a Japanese deity, is shown painting a rainbow. Indeed, he performs the action with his right hand while his left hand holds a kind of basket with three pots of paint. This kami has a rather closed attitude. He is standing in a dark and tormented sky. Below this figure, 8 villagers are dressed in traditional Japanese clothes. Their faces are softened. They are not afraid of the elements made by the kami above their heads. - A character with an unreal look is holding a kind of jar with his two hands, which he spills on human figures above. This being is floating in the air, probably a character from mythology, perhaps Susanoo. Underneath, villagers on umbrellas. They are trying to protect themselves as best they can from what is falling on them. One of them is carrying baskets with fish on her shoulders. A character in the background is thrown forward and falls. - On this kakemono, the god Raijin, dressed in a white and blue outfit, strikes the sky with his two drum hammers to create lightning and its thunderous sound. Surrounded by Tomoe and a long red scarf, Raijin, enraged and with dishevelled hair, creates a dark and violent storm. The villagers seem frightened by this meteorological phenomenon. One of the villagers can be seen fainting in the arms of a man. This scene may seem chaotic, but Japanese legend tells us that once a field is struck by lightning, the harvest is good. - On this kakemono, we see an unreal-looking figure holding a fan, as if he were sweeping away the bad weather, or simply producing gusts of wind. He is probably the kami of wind and air, Shina tsu-hiko. The figures below him seem surprised by so much wind. An umbrella flies away on the left, the women hold their hair and scarf, the clothes are caught in the power of the wind, there is even a woman on the ground on the bottom left. - This Kakemono represents a short moment. This Raiju is a yokai (ghost spirit...Category
