Album of 119 Small Paintings by Edo-Period Artists
Not on view
This album comprises 119 small paintings, most are the size of a shikishi (square poem card), each about 6 3/4 x 6 inches. The array of painters, mostly of eighteenth and nineteenth century, is impressive, but the works ascribed to famous artists such as Katsushika Hokusai, Utagawa Hiroshige, and Tani Bunchō, et al, seem to be copies by one or more talented painters. Some of the works by lesser known artists may turn out to be genuine. It seems to have been compiled as a history of various schools of Edo painting.
