Painterly Prints in Nineteenth-Century Japan

June 1 - September 23, 2007

Renzan studied with his father-in-law, Kishi Ganku (1749-1838), a Kyoto painter who founded an offshoot of the Shijō tradition known as the Kishi school. This print simulates the effects of a paintbrush in the contours of the wooden well cover. The multicolored ivy leaves further reflect the colored ink washes used in painting.
