A tall six-panel byôbu 屏風 (folding screen) featuring a refined Tosa School landscape by Kanô Baishô 狩野梅笑 (1728–1808). The scene presents a vast, tranquil coastline dotted with gently curving pine trees. From within a thicket a bright red torii gate appears. Along the beach three noblemen stroll together, approaching a white arched bridge that leads further into the landscape. Executed with fine mineral pigments and ink on a shimmering gold-leaf ground. Surrounded by two brocade silk borders: a thin brown inner band and a broad navy blue outer band, and encased in a black lacquered wooden frame fitted with protective metal hardware. Signed along the right side: “Painted by Hôgen Gyokugen Fujiwara Kuninobu”法眼玉元藤原國信画 (Hôgen Gyokugen Fujiwara Kuninobu ga), one of Baishô’s recorded art-names. Hōgen is an honorary Buddhist priestly rank that was historically granted to high-ranking painters, especially those associated with the Tosa school or court painting. Kanô Baishô 狩野梅笑 (1728–1808) was an accomplished mid- to late Edo-period painter of the Kanô school. Born into the Fukagawa Mizuba branch of the Kanô family, he served as an official painter to the shogunate. After a period of being expelled from the school, he continued to work in Echigo (modern Niigata Prefecture) and the northern provinces, where he taught local pupils including the writer Suzuki Bokushi, and is said to have been acquainted with the monk Ryôkan. He used several names, including Kuninobu 國信 and Gyokugen 玉元, and left behind a body of work ranging from courtly themes to local genre scenes. Surrounded by two brocade silk borders: a thin brown inner band and a broad red outer band, and encased in a black lacquered wooden frame fitted with protective metal hardware.
