About this work
Style of Kano Tan'yu painted this in 18th century?. It is now at the National Museum of Asian Art in Washington, DC.
How it was made
- Ink and colour on silk
- Silk was sized with glue and alum so it would hold a crisp brushline, and mineral colours were built up in thin layers. The sheen of the weave still shows through.
Style of Kano Tan'yu
1602–1674
