Lot Essay

Hokosai or Tajima Taikan (fl.1770s) was a student of the Kano School painter and renowned netsuke carver Yoshimura Shuzan (1700-1773). Like his master, Hokosai lived and worked in Abura-machi, Osaka. Hokosai also followed in his master’s footsteps in being bestowed with the honorary title of Hogen. Although based on the Kano School painting tradition, Hokosai’s work displays a certain dynamic originality reflecting the relative freeness in painting styles cultivated by artists in Osaka in comparison to the more formal traditional styles which many Kyoto artists were bound by.

Each panel of this screen depicts a single seasonal motif of red or white plum blossom, cherry blossom, pine, bamboo and chrysanthemums.

A two-fold screen with birds and flowers by the artist can be seen in the collection of the Raigoji Temple, Osaka.
