‎TANI Buncho. A Tribute Painting‎

‎GATHERING OF LITERATI SCHOLARS AND PAINTERS: Painted in the Nanga Style‎

‎Japan ca. 1800. Kakemono hanging scroll: size 66.4 x 1m.26 painting size: 54.5 x 41.7 cm. an excellent example brush signed by the artist with his red Hanko seal beautifully mounted on brocade silk DeLuxe size. A RARE EXAMPLE . . . . AN EXCEPTIONALLY FINE ORIGINAL PAINTED SCROLL . . . A TRIBUTE TO TANI BUNCHO . . . JAPAN'S MOST CELEBRATED PAINTER . . . CONSIDERED ONE OF JAPAN'S BEST 10 ARTISTS OF ALL TIME . . A TRIBUTE TO THE ARTIST TOSA Mitsunari 1646-1710: This painting is a later tribute to Tani Bucho. . WHO WAS TANI BUNCHO PAINTER & POET 1763-1840: Buncho was a Japanese painter who founded an eclectic school influenced by Chinese Japanese and Western styles. . Buncho was an the most famous of Japan's Bunjin literati painters and poets of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. . He was the son of the respected Samurai-poet TANI Rokkoku 1729-1809 retainers to the Tayasu family descendents of the Tokugawa Shogun. . ARTISTIC STUDY: Bunsho first studied first with under KATO Bunrei 1706-82 a master of the Kano school stressing Chinese themes & techniques. After Bunrei's death Buncho worked with school masters such literati painter KITAYAMA Kangen 1767-1801 where he developed a broad stylistic range. He continued with a painter of the Hoku-ga or Northern school of Chinese art. . He was also influenced by Nan-ga The Southern school of Chinese art also known in Japanese as the Bunjin-ga or "Literati Painting" as well as of Yamato-e traditional Japanese paintings of scenes from daily life. He founded a new school of painting called "Nanboku Goitsu" or "The South and East school" and he introduced the use of Western perspective a technique further refined by his most famous pupil Watanabe Kazan. . His technique was outstanding and his knowledge of Chinese Japanese and European art had a major influence on him. Extracted from Encyclopedia Britannica see below. . . BUNCHO'S STYLES OF PAINTING: Buncho is best known for his literati style "Nanga" a a Japanese interpretation of Chinese paintings. And "Bunjin-ga" or literati idealized landscapes. Unlike other contemporary "Bunjin-ga" painters Buncho was an exceptionally eclectic artist painting idealized Chinese landscapes our example Japanese examples based on real places and poetically-inspired traditional scenery. . PORTRAITS: He painted portraits of his contemporaries such as Ono Ranzan and Kimura Kenkado as well as imagined images of such famous Chinese literati and historic heroes as Su Shi and Tao Yuan-ming. . TRAVEL AND EXPOSURE: During his lifetime Buncho like all Japanese were not allowed to travel abroad being forbidden by the Tokugawa Shogunate. He did however spent many years traveling throughout Japan eventually going to Nagasaki. . NAGASAKI EXPOSURE TO CHINESE & DUTCH ART: In Nagasaki Bunsho saw Dutch imported Chinese classic painting manuals like the Ten Bamboo & Mustard Seed Garden. During his sojourn in Nagasaki he studied under a Chinese painter. While there His studied the "Nagasaki School" as well as "Dutch Painting" styles and was exposed to other imported European art works "You-Ga" were a major influence on his painting techniques and career. See Murase p.374 below. . HIS DISCIPLES: Watanabe Kazan Sakai Hoitsu and Takaku Aigai were among his disciples. One of his most famous pupils was the renowned painter Okuhara Seiko. Above liberally extracted & re-edited from Wikipedia see below. . "NANGA" OR LITERATI SCROLL SUBJECTS: . The subject portrays some of the typical literati-style "Yama to Mizu" "Mountains & Water" or "Shan-Sui" in Chinese stylized water & landscape features. Lovely examples of unique mountains waterfalls landscapes groups of scholars or literati Bunjin/intellectuals at their favorite pastimes. . The Literati are reading writing poetry painting carrying books & scrolls discussing arguing debating the literary and salient artistic points. . The top of the scroll painting begins with some very lovely and attractive mountains with evergreen trees. There is also a fast downward flowing river which originates behind the upper-most green and brown mountains. . At the upper right is a waterfall which creates its own tributary river joining the larger river flow. Along the shores on both sides are groups of literati. They are engaged in reading writing poems reflecting inspired by the stunning landscape and lavish scenery. . There is a small pavilion on the right shore adjacent to a forest with lush-green trees. In the pavilion appears a grand-master literati seated before his writing desk with ink stone brush and paper at the ready. He is accompanied by two attendants in the background and a young child carrying a bowl of food. He has an excellent view of the other scholars on both sides of the river and the activities of other groups just below him. . The small groups of scholars and literati are reading recitations writing or discussing. Some carry books tied by silken cords suspended over their shoulders. Most all are engaged in some form of artistic or literary activity some carry books and scrolls. . At the bottom left where the artist's brushed signature and red cinnabar Hanko seal/chop appears there is a small bridge over the river. A young disciple carries a long paper rolled into a scroll just behind two elder scholars and literate who are about to cross the bridge. Above them are some pairs of literati pouring over scrolls large papers and blue-bound books. Nearby above them is a young disciple who carries two large sets of similar blue-bound books in cases over his shoulder tied with a white silk cloth. He attends to the two elder literati above and to his right. They also carry identical blue-bound sets of books. . Above this young disciple noted above we see other groups of young disciples attending the elder literati to their rear. These young people also carry more books a red bound text and his companion a brown bound book. . The painting shows a lively and large group of scholars and literati with their disciples and attendants at what appears to be an extraordinary grand yet unnamed meeting and celebration. The majority of the those present are actively engaged in literary or artistic activities. . Though there is no text the visual graphic messages convey the story the artist created. . Scholars and painters have come together to create write share discuss and argue the finer points of poetry literature and paintings. Although we can not find or read any of the creations held in member hands based on the stunning landscape and festive mood on the faces of the participants one can assume the reason for this gathering is to share their thoughts & compositions with their community. . THE MEANING OF THE GATHERING OF SCHOLARS & PAINTERS IS REVEALED: A fascinating and illuminating article reveals who the people are in this scroll painting. . Per the above please see Paget's article citation below where she talks about "Buncho's circle." . She states: ".collaborative works and other objects give intimations of the creative exchange and gregarious atmosphere of Buncho�s extensive circle which encompassed such cultural luminaries as Sakai Hoitsu 1761-1828 Kameda Bosai 1752-1826 and Kimura Kenkado 1736-1802" all of whom were part of his "extensive circle." . From this article we can derive the meaning of our painting which clearly represents the "creative exchange and gregarious atmosphere of Buncho�s extensive circle." His "extensive circle.with "cultural luminaries" that he thought worthy of executing "collaborative works" with. Who would challenge this idea given the large number of "cultural luminaries" portrayed in this painting. . We can firmly understand who the large numbers of literati were. They are his colleagues his "cultural luminaries" and "collaborators" who shared in the production of some of his paintings. In this painting Buncho faithfully and expertly illustrates his respect for and to honor to his fellow "master painters" from his "extensive circle" and "Bunjin" genre. . SIZE AND FORMAT: DELUX GRAND SIZE PAINTING: . This is an extraordinary wide and long hand-painted Kakejiku hanging scroll in full vivid color. . The scroll overall is 1 m. 2 cm. wide. The painting is 87 cm. wide. . The length of the entire scroll is 2 m. 26 cm. long. The painting is 1 m. 69.2 cm. long. . THE ELEGANT & STUNNING SCROLL MOUNTING: . SKILLED WORK OF A MASTER HYOGUSHI: . The work is superbly elegantly and lavishly mounted by a master Hyogushi a scroll maker using the finest contemporary materials of the highest quality. . Stunning contemporary period gold-brocade silk is used at the top sides and bottom. Use of this extravagant and superbly elegant high-quality silk is indicative of very important and high-value painting. This use of lavish embroideries and materials show appropriate respect and honor to TANI Buncho's painting. . Gold-silk textiles of this high quality and caliber were hand-woven and took great skill to create. . The scroll ends Jiku are "Zogejiku" or ivory of the highest quality. . Add to the above the use of a great and skilled master Hyogushi to mount all of the precious materials. This results in a stunningly beautiful elegant and marvelous mounting. The mounting combines with the superb painting to celebrate the master work by the celebrated TANI Buncho. . CONDITION: The Painting: The painting is in excellent condition with lively colors and no damage or issues. There is a small scratch just near the signature and artist's seal. Otherwise an excellent example. The verso remains clean without mark or issues. . The Kakejiku or Hanging Scroll Mounting: The gold-silk brocade is original and has some of the usual surface rubbing. The lower cloth at the bottom by the "Jiku" lower roll hinge has some wear and is restored from the verso. There is also a bit of wear to a small place that covers part of the Jiku where there are loose threads. There are no other major issues which detract greatly from the mounting. . KIRI BAKO: THE CRYPTOMERIA PAULOWNIA WOOD CUSTOM BOX: This Kakejiku is contained in a lovely Kiri box with black lacquered edges on the top. The box is nicely intact and in very good to excellent condition. There are a few of the usual very minor bumps dings and other colorless marks typical of the attrition to such soft-wood boxes from a bygone era. . It has two typical convex cradles to hold the Jiku scroll ends at each end. The cover closes tightly omitting air and insects. The scroll has been housed in its container since 1952. The box has properly protected the contents for which it was designed. . The age of the box is difficult to determine it has bamboo pegs instead of metal nails which again is typical of Kiri boxes from early periods. The top lid/cover has no artist or title brushed on it and likewise the "Gedai" exterior scroll author/title slip does not indicate a title or artist. An educated guess is the box was made about 1850-1900. . PRECIOUS PROTECTION: It has been a Japanese custom for centuries to place precious objects of all varieties in Kiri boxes. Because of Japan's sultry and high-humidity weather in addition to a large number of paper-loving insects Kiri Bako has protected vulnerable items like silk clothing paper books paintings scrolls and others from the ravages and attrition rate. Items of innate value were and are still placed in Kiri Bako. . REFERENCES: .
