Japanese painters like Kan\u014d Eitoku and Ogata K\u014drin are masters of their fields. (For more on these painters, check this article out: https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/japanese\/japanese-painters\/<\/a>) However, there were other talented painters, but not as famous as Kan\u014d Eitoku and Ogata K\u014drin.<\/p>\n

Fujiwara Takanobu (\u85e4\u539f<\/strong>\u9686<\/strong>\u4fe1<\/strong>) excelled in drawing portraits. His most famous work is the portrait of Minamoto Yoritomo (\u6e90\u983c<\/strong>\u671d<\/strong>), who was a famous Japanese sh\u014dgun (\u5c06<\/strong>\u8ecd<\/strong>). His portrait paintings are known for being as realistic, and famous for capturing the essential personality of the subject. This type of painting is called Nise-e (\u4f3c<\/strong>\u7d75<\/strong>).<\/p>\n

Tensh\u014d Sh\u016bbun (\u5468<\/strong>\u6587<\/strong>) was influenced by Chinese painters, but he developed his own style of painting that was a mixture of Chinese and Japanese influences. The painting on the left if called Shiki sansui zu by\u014dbu (\u56db\u5b63\u5c71\u6c34\u56f3\u5c4f<\/strong>\u98a8<\/strong>) or \u201cThe Landscape of the Four Seasons.\u201d This painting is an ink drawing that contains both a foreground and background in realistic proportions.<\/p>\n

Kan\u014d Masanobu (\u72e9\u91ce<\/strong>\u6b63<\/strong>\u4fe1<\/strong>) was an official court painter who was influenced by Tensh\u014d Sh\u016bbun (painter discussed above). His paintings are precious because very few of his actual works have survived. However, there are many copies of his works. The painting on the left is called Sh\u016bmoshukuairenzu (\u5468\u8302\u53d4\u611b\u84ee<\/strong>\u56f3<\/strong>) which means \u201cZhou Maoshu Appreciating Lotuses.\u201d<\/p>\n

Iwasa Matabei (\u5ca9\u4f50<\/strong>\u53c8\u5175<\/strong>\u885b<\/strong>) was famous for his paintings of people. His figures have large heads, porcelain skin and have delicately drawn faces. The name of the painting on the left is called Matsuura Byobu (\u5a66\u5973\u904a\u697d<\/strong>\u56f3<\/strong>), or Matsuura\u2019s Folding Screen. Matsurra was the name of Iwasa Matabei\u2019s patron, and so this painting was named after Iwasa\u2019s patron.<\/p>\n

Kikuchi Y\u014dsai (\u83ca\u6c60<\/strong>\u5bb9<\/strong>\u658e<\/strong>) was famous for his portraits of famous historical figures. Before Kikuchi drew his figures, he researched the time period in which his subject lived. As a result, the figures in Kikuchi\u2019s paintings are depicted with the accurate style of clothing in the era in which the figure lived. The painting on the left is a self portrait that Kikuchi made of himself.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\"\"
