| A minka thatched house lies dwarfed by shadowing trees in this fine ink on paper screen signed from the Snow Pavilion-Kenzan and dated Autumn 1926. The exagerated roof lends a sense of strength and permanance to the human dwelling, despite teh overhanging trees; as if to say We are here to stay! It is bordered in the original faded orange silk in a raw wooden frame, and has been recently freshly backed with forest green paper. The screen measures 65 x 63 inches (165.5 x 160 cm) fully extended. Mizuta Kenzan (1903-1988) was a fixture in the Japanese Nanga world. He was born in Osaka and where he studied under his brother Chikuho (1883-1958), and moved to Kyoto in 1918. He displayed with the Nihon Nanga-In Exhibition, where he was awarded in 1921, and took top prize at the prestigious Nitten National Exhibition the following year. | |||||||||
