Kano School C17th Japanese
screens – 6 panels
Screen
1:
Screen 2:
currently being remounted by in-house conservator – subject more
masculine
The theme of
this screen is renewal, the celebration of Spring, new life and
longevity as evidenced by both the spring vegetation, the women and
children who are central in the composition the pine tree
representing long life.
Japanese
screens such as this one, although clearly Chinese in subject
matter, thy are ubiquitously Japanese and the treatment and style
with which the subject is ‘framed’ to create a rather ‘omnipotent
view’ perspective is typical of the Kano school screen painters;
the trees to the left and right, the river and rocks in the
foreground and the gold leaf clouds and sky at the top of the
picture frame the central narrative.
This is in
clear contrast to the straight architectural lines and patterns of
the central subject of the screen which is set in a traditional
Chinese architecture and garden landscape.
Recently
remounted with new backing paper and silk border, the Edo period
flat and square style lacquered wood surround was replaced
but the style and technique of the painting is indicative of
the late C17th indicated by the use of gofun or ground
sea shell used under the gold leaf to build texture and pattern for
the clouds. Some minor invisible restoration was made to surface
but older patched and somewhat clumsy restoration has been
maintained to keep the integrity and history of the
work.
