Haruki Nanko (1759-1839) Nanko had become popular as a painter during the1830s he had become equal
to one of the reigning artists at that time,Tani Bunchô (1763-1840) who
was also a friend . It had
taken Nanko some time to gain recognition in Edo. The reason for this
was his many years travelling
to study Southern Chinese painting. However,
in the course of his travels he gained many students. When he returned
to Edo he introduced this Southern painting style where all Nanga painters
in Edo still worked in the Northern style. His son Nammei, (Haruki
Nammei 1795-1878) was still developing
his own style at the time
during this rise in popularity of
his father but he became well
known in his own right.
Interesting water colour painting saying " a view from a driveway
from the eastern view of the lake from Mt. Hiei.
Painted by Tokiya (Tokikazu) with box £180
From around the top of Hiei-zan, you can enjoy a panoramic view not only of the Lake Biwa-ko and Kyoto, but also that of Suzuka and Tanba Mountains. Mount Hiei (比叡山 Hiei-zan) is a mountain to the northeast of Kyoto, lying on the border between the Kyoto and Shiga prefectures, Japan. For much of Japanese history, Mt. Hiei has been off-limits to women. The temple of Enryaku-ji, the first Japanese outpost of Tendai sect of Buddhism, was founded atop Mount Hiei by Saichō in 788. Both Nichiren and Honen studied at the temple before leaving to start their own practices. The temple complex was razed by Oda Nobunaga in 1571 to quell the rising power of the Tendai's warrior monks (sōhei), but it was rebuilt and remains the Tendai headquarters to this day. Hiei-zan is a generic name for a south-to-north chain of mountains lying over Sakyo-ku, Kyoto and Otsu, Shiga, with Mt. Shimei-ga-dake and Mt. Ohiei-ga-dake in the middle. There stands Enryaku-ji Temple, head temple of the Tendai-shu sect, opened in 785 by Saicho who founded the sect. The temple area is dotted with more than 100 buildings and towers, including the Konpon-chudo, a national treasure, a large lecture hall, and Shaka-do, all shaded by a forest of old Japanese cedar trees. Because the mountains have been regarded as a Buddhist sacred place, where destruction of animal life is forbidden, now you can see a variety of birds there.
