About the Item

A beautiful, wonderfully composed and engaging original hand-painted large Japanese Edo period Kano School painting depicting an almost magical/ mythical village landscape scene with floating golden clouds and rivers (highlighted with gold leaf and gold dust), and various characters, animals, and creatures (notice the dark and all white elephants) interacting within the landscape. The Kano school, which was founded by Kano Masanobu, is one of the most famous schools of Japanese painting. The Kano school of painting was the dominant style of painting from the late 15th century until the Meiji period which began in 1868. The school began by reflecting a renewed influence from Chinese painting but later developed a brightly colored and firmly outlined artistic style for large panels which reflected distinctively Japanese aesthetics and traditions. The painting is signed and sealed (in red) by the artist. A unique, original work. Would be a great addition to any Japanese or Asian art/painting collection or make for an eye catching stand alone accent artwork in about any setting. The painting is framed and ready to display. Frame dimensions: 34.25" high, 31.75" wide, 1" deep Viewable art: 27"" x 24"

His real name was Kawai Yoshisaburo. Contents Biography Gyokudo was born in what is now Ichinomiya city, Aichi Prefecture, as the eldest son of a paper, ink and brush merchant. He went to Kyoto in 1887 to study under Kono Bairei of the Maruyama-Shijo school of painting. In 1896, he moved to Tokyo and he became the student of Hashimoto Gaho, of the Kano school.
