Twenty Scenes of Wakanoura

Soseiryo was a villa built in Wakaura in 1920 by Tokugawa Yorimichi (1872–1925), the last head of the Kii Branch of the Tokugawa clan. Yorimichi commissioned this album with twenty-one views of the villa as a gift for the Imperial Family. The paintings were done by the Nanga ink painter Hirao Chikuka from Tanba-Sasayama, and the waka poems were contributed by the poet and calligrapher Ban Masaomi of the Ministry of the Imperial Household's Poetry Bureau.(「Wakyama and the Imperial Family」2021)
