print

Kawabe Mitate ( 1837-1905 )

  • Meiji period, Dated 1892
  • color on silk
  • hanging scroll

Paintings – Japanese / Asian Paintings

The scene of the desperate struggle between the army of Nitta Yoshiaki and the Ashikaga in 1336 are depicted dexterously in the limited visual range differing from a hand scroll, based on modern spatial composition featuring ingenious group arrangement influenced by western painting perspective while also studying old paintings. This formative style displays a point of attainment of Meiji period Yamatoe painting.
