Subject:Japanese scroll by Kano Eishuku ???
Posted By: Preben Thu, Aug 07, 2014 IP: 85.225.51.153 I would be very glad if someone could identify this signature. It is on a silk painting (scroll?) and depict 9 poets at a river composing poems and putting smal candles on leaves at set them out on the water. I have been informed that it could be by an artist named KanĂ´ Eishuku (1675-1724). |

Posted By: rat Mon, Aug 11, 2014 I don't know much about Japanese painting, but I think that you either have a painting by someone else using the same name (Eishuku are the first two characters on your painting's inscription, followed by "brush", meaning "painted by Eishuku"), or you have a more recent anonymous painting to which someone has added the false signature of Eishuku. The latter phenomenon is not uncommon and is what I think is most likely. The third but less likely option is that you have a genuine Kano Eishuku picture, perhaps something painted when he was a student, but given the radically different painting styles of your picture and those easily found online in museum collections, you will need to do some digging for similar examples of his work. |
