Konoshima Ohkoku, a painter of Kyoto party (Sen-oku Hakuko Kan)

(Translated by Google Translate)

Was held in ISen-oku Hakuko Kan,  a branch in Tokyo, Roppongi, exhibition of Kijima Sakuratani.

Also limited information, I did not know about Kijima Sakuratani.

Kijima, was born in Kyoto Sanjo Muromachi in 1877. Around the birthplace, and including Takeuchi Seiho, painters many lived.

Then, learn painting under the year of Imao Kei Maruyama-Shijo school, he play an active part and whether the sought-after person early on. He was long a judge of Emperor exhibition, but after age 50, and devoted to Gagyo, died at 61 years old.

Many of the exhibits are, animal painting and figure painting. Animals do well represented its loveliness in particular. Speaking a little wickedly, it might be nice to say a viewer, the artist, to draw a picture like you want to see.

The work called roar , lion roar has literally folding screen to the right , the folding screen on the left, run about trying to escape and scared to the roar , parent and child of deer is depicted.

The representation of the lion , I received the impression that stole the representation of Takeuchi Seiho .

Alternatively, because the two people who have learned the same Maruyama -Shijo school , representation might because something was similar happened .

Field work called samadhi is like a self-portrait at all. One old man , has been painting in the living room , it is captured beautifully , the moment you just take a break . When I painted this picture , in fact , Kijima had been living picture of samadhi .

Number was drawn at the request of the Sumitomo family , to the bi- folding screen of 6 colorful ways. It is drawn in technique of Rimpa , Iris laevigata figure as Utsushito~tsu as it is a picture of Korin in particular . Besides, is expressed by a stunning painting technology , plum blossoms in the snow , YanagiSakura , such as chrysanthemum , a traditional motif .

Depicting the landscape of the valley of autumn , autumn Kei-chu . Valley while hiding places , the clouds , and towering . Red autumn leaves are used effectively , and really beautiful . It was up there with the landscape painting of China , was a bit different , and the world of landscape painting .
