Subject:help with painting signature, seal
Posted By: Willie Howard Tue, Sep 11, 2012 IP: 24.151.129.253 Hi All, |

Posted By: Guy Wed, Sep 12, 2012 The second signature reads 'painted by hôgen Shûhô at the age of 78 years' and refers to Mori Shûhô (1738-1823) a well known Japanese painter from Osaka. The work dates from 1815 (years counted from day of bitrh in the Japanese way). |

Posted By: Guy Wed, Sep 12, 2012 I tend to read the first two characters of the first signature as 'Tanzan' (探山) but I'm not sure about the third character. The fourth kanji is 'hitsu' (筆) or 'painted by'. |

Posted By: rat Thu, Sep 13, 2012 Guy, I think the third character is supposed to be "upright"/"correct", in Japanese "sei" or "tada(shi)". So a "real/true painting" by Tanzan? |

Posted By: Guy Tue, Sep 25, 2012 Spot on Willie! Bravo! It is Kanô Tan'yû and the seal does match for sure with the one on an ink painting in the British Museum (cfr image). I see no real differencies. The BM description states 'Claimed to be by Kano Tan'yu' (ex Arthur Morrison collection). |

Posted By: Guy Fri, Sep 14, 2012 Couldn't resist to have another look at the seal of Shûhô and I believe it must be read as 'hôgen Takanobu' (法眼貴信) - 'hôgen' being the honorary title and 'Takanobu' the artist's surname. |

Posted By: Willie Tue, Oct 09, 2012 Hi, just replied to your post assuming your interest was in the Kano Tan'yu painting. Just in case I was mistaken here is an image of the Mori Shuho piece. |
