Description
This print is from a set called "A Collection of Pictures of Artisans", which consists of 24 pieces, written on a pair of six paneled screens, which are kept in the temple of Kitain at Kawagoe of Musashi Provice. They are all quite old and have a splendid harmony of colors. Having no signs, they are said to be Mitsuoki's, through the ingenious composition and marvelous command of the brush. They are precious for purposes of reference to study the age, as they represent the customs of old, and both the delicate touch and the technique of printing are also wonderful. Mitsuoki Tosa was appointed "Sakon-Shogen" (an important office) early in the era of Genroku (1688-1703) and made chief of the Painting Bureau. Honored afterwards, he was called Josho and was appointed "Hogen" ( a high rank of a priest ) . In those days the fame of the Tosa school had been gradually fading. He reformed the bad habits of the school and became the master of the revival period of the school, painting beautiful ladylike women and being most skillful in painting maids of honor.
