Abstract

"This book showcases the works of master painter Maryuama Ōkyo (1733–1795) and his students at Daijōji Temple in the town of Kasumi, Japan. Pioneering a realism style based on ‘shasei’, the act of painting by closely examining and understanding the subject, Ōkyo’s philosophy continues to inspire Japanese painters today. The paintings on the sliding doors and walls survive in their original context from 1787. The artist did the paintings for the Kakushigi Room, Landscape Room, and Peacocks Room — in which three life-sized pine trees and three peacocks are depicted on 16 panels. Also included are works by his pupils in various other rooms of the Daijōji Temple"-- Provided by publisher.
