Late 17th Century Japanese Screen Pair. Battle of Ichi-no-tani and Yashima.
Located in Kyoto, JP
Anonymous
Late 17th Century
Battle of Ichi-no-tani & Yashima
Dimensions: Each Screen: H. 175 cm x W. 385 cm (69” x 151.5”)
This pair of Japanese screens depict two significant battles from the Genpei War (1180–85), as recounted in the Tale of the Heike, a semi-historical epic chronicling the conflict between rival clans for control of Japan, written in the early 1200s.
Each screen portrays a single battle through a series of small episodes, framed by gold clouds, landscape elements, and architectural features. True to the style of many screens inspired by The Tale of the Heike, the scenes are rendered in lavish colors and gold, downplaying the brutality of the warfare. Although based on real events, these narratives often glorified and romanticized the heroic feats of the warriors. Viewers at the time would have been familiar with the story’s details, leading to a proliferation of paintings on folding screens inspired by this theme from the late Muromachi to the early Edo periods.
On the right screen, we see the Minamoto’s attack on the Taira, who have retreated from the capital, Kyoto, toward the sea. The central building represents the temporary Taira headquarters, where Taira soldiers are holding the young Emperor Antoku. The Minamoto plan to launch a surprise attack from the rear after descending the steep cliff known as Ichi-no-tani, depicted at the top center. This scene highlights the tactical brilliance of Minamoto commander Yoshitsune and the courage of his men.
The left screen captures moments from the Battle of Yashima...

Early 20th Century Japanese Cherry Blossom Screen by Kano Sanrakuki
Located in Kyoto, JP
Cherry Blossoms
Kano Sanrakuki (1898-1981)
Showa period, circa 1930
2-panel Japanese Screen
Color, gofun and gold leaf on paper
Against a backdrop of gold-leafed ground, the lichen covered trunk and branches of the life-sized cherry blossom tree reach out and beyond the confines of the pictorial surface. The overall composition has a feeling of flatness which draws emphasis to the surface and the three-dimensionality of the cherry blossoms. Painstakingly built-up layers of thickly applied shell-white gofun detail the voluminous blossoms and cover large areas of this tour-de-force of Japanese Nihonga painting. By simplifying the background, minimizing the number of colors and depicting the blossoms with such heavy relief, the artist has emphasized the stunning presence of the cherry tree. The type of tree depicted is the Yae-Zakura; a double-layered type of cherry blossom famed for its beauty and strength. When we think of Japanese cherry blossoms, the first thing that comes to mind is Somei Yoshino variety, which has a single flower with five almost white petals. This type is fragile and easily blown away by strong wind or rain. Most of the double-flowered cherry blossoms begin to bloom when the Somei-Yoshino falls, and the flowering period lasts longer than that of the Somei-Yoshino.
Kano Sanrakuki originally studied painting at the Kyoto City Arts and Crafts School under the tutelage of Yamamoto Shunkyo...

Japanese Screen Painting, Late 17th Century, Crows
Pine by Kano Chikanobu
Located in Kyoto, JP
Kano Shushin Chikanobu (1660-1728)
'Crows and Pine’
Six-fold screen, ink and gold leaf on paper.
Haha-cho or mynah birds, whose forms resemble crows in artwork, were commonly depicted in Japanese art. These types of paintings were originally modeled on paintings attributed to the 13th century Chinese painter Muqi (Mokkei), whose art was enormously influential in Japan. For his crows and pine tree, kano Chikanobu owes a debt of gratitude to Muqi, not only regarding his forms but also his brushwork. At the same time, Chikanobu clearly depicts large, native Japanese jungle crows with thick, arched upper bills and a tuft of hair above their bills. Rarely, if ever, had such birds been so clearly defined in Japanese painting. Chikanobu represented the birds and their close grouping with realism, yet entirely without the use of outlines. Similarly, the pine tree’s low-hanging branch was rendered with spontaneous ink washes and strokes, the brush flowing fluently and unerringly across the expansive gold background. The composition is almost entirely committed to the foreground; the soft gradation of ink tones through the pine branch is the only indication of depth. The hand-beaten gold leaf background has acquired a lustrous patina over its 300-year life and contrasts brilliantly against the rich black ink.
The screen has been quite recently re-mounted. Unlike traditionally mounted Japanese screen panels...
