content: Kano school

label: Label

content: From the eighth century onward, Chinese poetry, painting, and calligraphy were highly esteemed in Japan. Certain Chinese subjects, familiar to Japan's cultural leaders through literary sources, enjoyed great popularity during the early seventeenth century. Chinese poetry of the Tang dynasty (618-907), especially by Bo Juyi (772-846), had been highly appreciated in the Heian period (794-1185) and was nearly as familiar to literate Japanese as was the historic poetry of Japan.

content: The long poem known as the Song of Everlasting Sorrow recounts the story of Emperor Ming Huang (reigned 712-756), whose excessive love for his beautiful concubine, Yang Guifei (circa 720-756), cast his empire into disorder and brought about her death in the An Lushan uprising of 756. This tragic story of passionate love and grief was illustrated in many Japanese screen paintings during the late sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. In this composition, flowers bloom profusely as the emperor and Yang Guifei meet in the palace garden.

content: The artist of this painting is unknown, but the style reflects the characteristics of the Kano school. Kano painters, who traced their lineage back to the fifteenth century, initially specialized in the subjects and styles of Chinese painting favored in that period by elite patrons such as the shoguns of the Ashikaga line.

content: This painting shows a generic palace constructed at the foot of towering mountains. On a terrace behind the gates of the compound, several palace ladies have gathered to watch the sunset (or sunrise) as it reddens the skies and waters. Flecks of gold added to the paint augment the dazzling effect. The painting bears the spurious signature of Zhao Boju, an imperial relative who worked in the academy at the Southern Song dynasty (1127-1279) court. A specialist in the blue-and-green style originated almost five centuries earlier by Li Sixun (651-716/18), himself a member of the Tang imperial family, Zhao was especially renowned for his detailed depictions of palaces and other architectural motifs in landscape settings. No original works by Li or Zhao survive and, other than the most superficial of connections, neither the execution nor the design of this scroll bear any particular relationship to the extant compositions more plausibly attributed to either man. Instead, this painting falls into the general category of works that derive from the mid-Ming dynasty resurrection of the meticulous landscape and architecture style ushered in by the famous painter Qiu Ying (ca. 1494-1552). Judging from the quality of the materials and the skillful but somewhat uninspired execution of the work, this painting was probably the product of a seventeenth- or eighteenth-century workshop and was intended for the collection of an affluent patron.

content: Spanning the broad Sumida River, the Ryogoku Bridge was a popular site for entertainment in Edo (modern Tokyo). In this detailed panoramic view, the artist Toyoharu focuses on activities along the west bank of the river, where people representing many classes of society and whose status is distinguished by their dress, stroll to and from the bridge along a roadway lined with shops. Pleasure boats make their way beneath the bridge. The pagoda and roof of the Sensoji, a temple in Asakusa dedicated to the Buddhist deity Kannon, appears in the distance to the left of the bridge. Although space is compressed in this view, the artist endeavored to render a contemporary scene with realism and accuracy. He employs some of the principles of perspective found in European art that had begun to interest Japanese artists beginning in the eighteenth century.

content: Unknown workshop; false seal of Ninsei

content: Tea Ceremony water jar (mizusashi [Jpn]); silver cover.

content: Clay: hard, dense, grayinsh

content: Glaze: clear, close dark crackle

content: The master potter Ninsei, active in the mid-17th century, introduced techniques of overglaze enameling to Kyoto. His bold designs reflected the culture of the clergy and the aristocrats who were his major patrons. The six halberds shown on this jar are associated with the Gion Festival of Kyoto. The design makes the jar appropriate for use in midsummer, around the time of the annual festival.

content: The shape, glaze, and dark clay body of this bowl echo early Karatsu ware. The decoration of pine boughs--rendered in iron and cobalt against “clouds” of white slip (clay solution)--was, however, inspired by designs of the Kyoto potter Ogata Kenzan (1663–1743). Hybrid “quotations” from historical ceramic modes were common in Kyoto workshops in the nineteenth century.
