scholar of foreign knowledge(Rangaku), and a painter
of Japanese Nanga school Painting(or Bunjinga, literati
painting). Kazan was arrested by the guilt of judgment
to the shogunate. He confined himself into his house in
Tahara from the time on and there committed suicide
after year and a half.
We considerate the relationships between Kazan’s
thoughts and works by his diaries, letters and notes.
There are many discourses on painting in letters
of answers (Kaiji Gohenji) to his friend Tsubaki
