I think I like the ones with the dogs in the foreground ~ especially the one with the dog dominating the painting. Not because I love dogs so much, but because the artist obviously did.

Thank you, Lani! It seems dogs also had important roles in Edo, to protect the neighbourhood by alerting the inhabitants to the presence of strangers.

Yes, it is a lot different. It has its own style and approach.

Thank you so much, Jeffrey for sharing this beautiful art. It’s really expanding my mind! I knew very little about Japan or Japanese art before subscribing to your posts. It’s always good to stretch yourself outside of the things that you normally like to look at or read about.

That screen is divine! Thanks for resharing! I’m an early reader but missed this or more than likely, forgot! I love the values in Edo Landscape and your take on the commercial vibe is spot on. I could study that one for a long while.

Lovely Jeffrey. You remind me of the Japonisme exhibition at Melbourne’s NGV International gallery back in 2018. Without Japanese art, would there have been an Impressionist movement? https://www.ngv.vic.gov.au/exhibition/japonisme/

The captions are available at the link, and much of the NGVs collection is online, I’m told.
