The Japanese Bunjinga or Nanga School of literati scholar-amateur
artists flourished in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, especially
during the Bunka era and the Bunsei era. Calligraphy and painting
parties (shogakai) and wanderings of bunjin to various places became
increasingly popular.
Many of the schools and styles of Japanese art during the Edo period
are represented in illustrated books. This essay introduces two albums of
Japanese poems in Chinese style and Jpanese paintings. One is Kasenruijo
and another is Seifiishii. Major artists and poets are Tani Buncho, Kameda
Bosai, Sakai Hoitsu, Haruki Nanko, Kuwagata Keisai, Kita Busei, Kikuchi
Gozan, Okubo Shibutsu. In this album Kasenruijo, the influences of Tani
Buncho and Ichikawa Kansai are strong, with many works by his pupils
and followers. Kasenruijo is an album of 34 works by 34 painters and poets
active in Edo in the early nineteenth century. There are 17 paintings and
17 sheets of calligraphy, and the dates are probably all from the spring
of 1812. Seifushu contains only works in the literati style. There are 3
paintings and 3 sheets of calligraphy and 57 poems in Chinese style and 22
Japanese songs, and the dates are probably all from 1836 to 1838.
From the dated inscriptions on title by Masuyama Sessai and work by
Kaburagi Untan, it is thought that Kasenruijo was created immediately
for the lamentation of Saba Chikuo, Tansais brother, was dead in february
of Bunka 9 (1812), and from the dated inscription on foreward by Kan
Gentatsu, it is thought that Seifushu was created for the congratulation on
Kamioka Tokuitu’s new house named Chikusho Ioku in february of Tenpo
9 (1838).
