Description
The Japanese value Sesshu Toyo (1420-1506) as their greatest artist and his single most important work was his Long Scroll, entitled “Eight Views of the West Lake”, which became a complete text of instruction for generations of Japanese artists.This work, apparently, is a copy of Kano Eishin’s (1730-1790) copy of Kano Yasunobu’s (1613-1685) copy of Sesshu’s Long Scroll. It is an extremely long handscroll, entitled ”Eight Views of the West Lake,” the frontispiece with inscription ‘copied Kansei 12 (=1800) 6th month by Kano Kyuhaku [and] Shaku/Seki Tanzan [and] Baishin (possibly Kano Yuho 1752-1820)’ followed by the notation stating that it is a copy by Kano Eishin after a landscape by Sesshu, the box inscribed Saiko hakkei (=Eight Views of the West Lake) followed by ‘Bokushinsai Hogen Eishin sensei (Kano Yasunobu 1613-85) hitsu’ (some wear). Since it is over 47 feet long, there are 24 images to capture the full length of the piece. Edo Period. 16 x 571.25 inches
