After Ike no Taiga and Yosa Buson’s Ten Conveniences and Ten Pleasures

Copied by Totoki Baigai Japanese

On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 231

Considered today one of Japan’s national treasures, the album Ten Conveniences and Ten Pleasures (1771) was a collaboration between the renowned painters Ike no Taiga (1723–1776) and Yosa Buson (1716–1784). It visualized an idyllic lifestyle set in a reclusive garden, as described by Li Yu (1611–1680), a Chinese novelist who also published a famous painting manual. This sophisticated copy of the album was made by Totoki Baigai, a scholar-painter and onetime student of Taiga.
