Paintings – Japanese / Asian Paintings

Beautiful gardens among golden clouds with flowers and trees of the four seasons, and the palace of cypress bark roofs peeping slightly, is the garden of Rokujoin, the mansion of Hikaru Genji. This charming Yamatoe painting is considered to be by Okyo at his matured stage, sufficiently showing his talent.
