Tanomura Chokunyu 田能村直入, 1814–1907

Meiji era, 1868–1912
2017-173

Chokunyū was born into a samurai family and had the opportunity to study the Chinese paintings then in Japan.
He painted in a great variety of styles, from densely packed ink landscapes that seem to have an affinity with Chinese masters, to brightly colored, stiffly formed landscapes that were popular in the late Meiji era. Both the monochrome and the colored styles are seen in these two examples.
