Imperial Garden in Spring Rain

print

Yokoyama Taikan

  • Taisho period, 1926
  • hanging scroll

Paintings – Japanese / Asian Paintings

Yokoyama continued to attempt to innovate various expressions of Nihonga from the Meiji era, changing his painting styles at each stage, especially from the middle 1920s, achieving excellent results in the field of ink painting. This is one of them depicting the garden of the Akasaka Detached Palace full of serenity. It is an excellent work expressing soft and faint light air of spring dimming in the rain making full use of the technique placing metal foil under the silk and the effect of subtle blur of ink on silk texture with rich feeling and minute brushwork.
