*Reduced size picture scroll [Heavy Cultural Treasures: Cranes, underpainting of waka poem scrolls], calligraphy by Honami Koetsu, painting by Tawaraya Sotatsu*.

Calligraphy: Hon'ami Koetsu, Paintings: Tawaraya Sotatsu, Momoyama period, Kyoto National Museum collection

A miraculous collaboration between Tawaraya Sotatsu, the founder of the Rimpa school, and Hon'ami Koetsu, known as one of the "Three Brushes of Kan'ei" (Important Cultural Property, underpainting of cranes, waka poem scroll) (Kyoto National Museum collection). To commemorate the 400th anniversary of the birth of the Rimpa school, we have produced a reduced version of the picture scroll!

In the original 13-meter long scroll, Sotatsu depicted the long flight of a group of cranes as they took off, danced, and returned to the shore to rest their wings. On the underpainting, waka poems by the 36 poets known as outstanding Japanese classics are written in dynamic calligraphy by Koetsu that emphasizes boldness and fineness. In books and exhibitions, you can often see only a selected scene, but in this reduced emaki, you can see the entire sequence from the beginning to the end of the scroll, which is usually difficult to see, up close and personal.

In addition, the cranes, also known as auspicious birds from ancient times, are depicted in gold and silver mud, making it a perfect gift for scenes of celebration and good fortune, and highly recommended as a gift for a loved one. It is also good for unfolding your own favorite scene and displaying it as an interior decoration in your home.

Calligraphy: Hon'ami Koetsu

Born in Kyoto during the Eiroku period (1558-1637). In addition to his family's three swordsmanship skills, he produced great works in a wide variety of fields. In particular, he is known as one of the "Three Writings of Kan'ei" in the field of Noh calligraphy. In his later years, he established an art village called Koetsu-mura in Takagamine, where he produced various works of art. His representative works are [a waka scroll with underpainting of cranes (a joint work with Tawaraya Sotatsu)] and [an inkstone box with maki-e lacquer on the bridge of a ship].

Painting: Sotatsu Tawaraya

Date of birth and death unknown. Painter active from Momoyama to the early Edo period, who presided over the painting studio Eya [Tawaraya] in Kyoto. While rooted in the tradition of Yamato-e, his works are characterized by innovative forms, bold compositions, and vivid colors that are not bound by the formality of established schools. The decorative painting style originated by Sotatsu was developed into the Rimpa school by Ogata Korin. His representative works are [National Treasure: The Wind and Thunder Gods], [National Treasure: Lotus Pond with Water Fowl], and [National Treasure: Sekiya Mioji].
