Circa 1700 Japanese Screen Pair, Cranes & Pines, Kyoto Kano School
Located in Kyoto, JP
Pines and Cranes
Anonymous. Kyoto Kano School.
Late 17th/early 18th centuries, circa 1700.
Pair of six-panel Japanese folding screens.
Ink, gofun, pigment and gold leaf on paper.
This bold composition presents two pine trees extending to the left and right across a gold leaf background. One tree is silhouetted against a green ground, golden clouds obscuring its true size, the other stretches across a stylized waterway. The pines are paired with Manchurian cranes with red crests and snow white plumage. Both have been highly auspicious motifs in East Asia since Chinese antiquity. Here the artist utilized fluid and instinctive ink brushstrokes to define the trunk, branches and tail feathers, in strong contrast to the precision and sharp angularity of the crane’s legs and beaks. The adoption of this vast metallic painting support required an unerring sense of design and composition, so that the negative space surrounding motifs could imply context for the otherwise floating pictorial elements. The brushwork detailing the trunks of the pines, the exaggerated dimensions of the pine trees and the strength and dynamism of the composition are all reminiscent of Kano Eitoku...

Kiyono Yozan, circa 1700 “Xiao & Xiang” Japanese Screen Painting
By Kiyono Yozan
Located in Kyoto, JP
Kiyono Yozan (fl. 1688-1704)
“Views of the Xiao and Xiang”
Six-panel screen, ink and gold leaf on paper.
Inscription: Yozan
Seal: Issei
Dimensions:
105 cm x 258 cm (41” x 101.5”)
The eight views of the Xiao and Xiang was first developed in Chinese poetry and painting during the eleventh century. It was introduced to Japan in the fourteenth century and became a major theme in Japanese ink painting. Painters of the Kano school took up the motif in the sixteenth century, and retained it in their repertoire through the early 20th century. The eight views depict two rivers that both converge with Lake Dongting in present-day Hunan Province. While the titles of the eight views were standard, their sequence was not, and artists reordered the scenes to suit their intentions and aesthetic needs. Japanese artists in particular tended to follow a seasonal progression.
This small six-panel screen by Kiyono Yozan moves from spring through summer. On the right is a temple high on a peak depicted in spring mist. Fishermen are shown in the glow of the early evening pulling in their nets before returning home. The final scene in the distant fishing village is of rain falling on a summers night. The scene is remarkably calm and tranquil, and has the ability to make the heat of summer disappear. Painted with ink on a gold leaf ground, the scenes are well integrated and balanced to offset the compositional weight of the dominant rocks and mountains. The closer hills are outlined in darker ink applied in layers, while the distant peaks are silhouetted in paler wash. There are other areas where the brushwork is more precise. The pagoda, the little figures and boats, as well as certain branches, are picked out sharply against lighter washes. Much of the paper is left to suggest blank space, creating an overall mood of stillness and contemplation. There is a certain narrative interest in the activities of the figures, but they are largely lost in the vast and mysterious space.
Kiyono Yozan (fl. 1688-1704). Given name Kiyono Tsunechika. Student of Kano Tsunenobu (1636-1713). Son of Kano Ikko (d.1695), who was a student of Kano Naonobu...
