About the Item

Studio of Hasegawa Tohaku (1539-1610) “Crows on Pine” Momoyama period. Early 17th Century. A six-panel Japanese Screen. Ink on paper. The early 17th century Momoyama period screen “Crows on Pine” is a recent discovery. Although it has no signature or seal, it is obviously closely related to the right-side screen of “Crows on Pine and White Herons on Willow," by Hasegawa Tohaku (1539-1610). Held in the Idemitsu Museum of Arts, Tokyo it is one of Tohaku’s representative pieces. Both works feature a family of crows in a pine tree. The newly discovered screen is more strongly focused on the central tree and the birds and the artist has placed more emphasis on the pine needles. The brushwork is more dynamic and the denser ink-strokes create stronger contrasts. In the Tohaku screen in the Idemitsu museum the brushwork is gentler and more atmospheric. The chicks are more integrated into the nest with a softer visual presence. The composition has more emphasis on negative space and narrative flow. Hasegawa Tōhaku painted “Crows on Pine and White Herons on Willow" in the late 16th century. Another work by Tohaku with strong stylistic similarities to the present screen is “Old Trees and Monkeys”, an Important Cultural Property presently held in the Kyoto National Museum. Due to its dynamic brushwork and thickly applied ink it is thought to date from latter part of the artist’s career, post 1600. “Crows and Herons” is an Important Cultural Property painted by Tohaku previously held in the Kawamura Memorial DIC Museum of Art. The painting was created after 1605. It is a representative work from Tōhaku's later years and demonstrates denser composition, stronger brushwork and thicker, more highly contrasting ink-work. The recently discovered “Crows on Pine” is thought to date to the late period of Tohaku’s life. Not the work of the master himself, but painted by one of his son’s or disciples likely working under the master’s supervision. For a directly relatable work from the Hasegawa school in the late Momoyama period see: ‘Pine Trees in Moonlight’, attributed to Hasegawa Tohaku. This pair of screens was widely exhibited and published within Japan and eventually sold through Christies New York in 2007. Hasegawa Tohaku (1539-1610) had four sons, Kyuzou, Sotaku, Sakon, and Soya, but Kyuzou, who was the most gifted of them all, died at the early age of 26, and Sotaku temporarily inherited the family lineage but died the year after Tohaku 's death . In the end, his third son, Sakon, took over the school. Other artists in the Hasegawa school during Tohaku's active period included Tohaku's pupil and son-in-law Tohaku Toin, who went to Edo and produced screen paintings for Katori Shrine and the Date clan's Zuigan-ji Temple , as well as Toho, Toji, Tojin, Toen, and others. The screen paintings at Chishaku-in (formerly Shoun-ji Temple), Sanbo-in, Myoren-ji, and Zenrin-ji Temple are thought to be works of the Hasegawa school.

Located in Kyoto, JP

Unkoku Toshuku (1722-1779) Crows and Pines A pair of six-panel Japanese Screens. Ink and gold leaf on paper. Dimensions: Each Screen: H. 170.5 cm x W. 375 cm Haha-cho or mynah birds, whose forms resemble crows in artwork, were commonly depicted in Japanese art. These types of paintings were originally modeled on paintings attributed to the 13th century Chinese painter Muqi (Mokkei), whose art was enormously influential in Japan. Crows only became a theme among Japanese artists from the later 1500s onward. They likely were inspired by these imported Chinese paintings of myna birds, which are not native to Japan, substituting the native species of crow instead. The best known early examples of the depiction of Japanese crows are two Momoyama screen...
