An exotic white inko in a pine tree enclosed in the original red lacquered double signed wooden box (Niju bako). Pigment and ink on silk in a fine brown silk border patterned with Kiri leaves, extended with blue gray and featuring large ivory rollers. It measures 23-1/2 x 80-1/2 inches (60 x 204 cm). There is light foxing, mostly concentrated to the right of the tree. The seals are pubished in the large museum Anthology “Keinen” figures B and D.
Imao Keinen (1845-1924) was born in Kyoto, and initially schooled in the Ukiyoe style before becoming a pupil of Suzuki Hyakunen, from whom he received his name. Master of many styles, he was a member of the Imperial Art Committee and Imperial Art Academy, and served as Juror for the Bunten as well as teaching at the Kyoto School of painting. Very influential painter known for his detailed Kacho-ga. He is held in the collections of the Ashmolean, Metropolitan Museum NY and Museum of Fine Arts, Boston among others.
