Jakuchu and Sohaku (Tsuji Tsuneo Collection, Volume 6)

Following the major essay that reveals for the first time the full scope of the artistic career of Ito Jakuchu, a hugely popular painter of unconventional ideas, this book also contains stimulating research that reexamines painters who have previously been considered heretics, such as Soga Shohaku, Nagasawa Rosetsu, and Hayashi Juei. Finally, it examines the expression of "true scenery" in China and Japan. This is a study of the shocking, unconventional painters who rewrote art history. It also includes a bibliography of their major works.
