From the museum
A group of people in a boat head out from a pavilion in this imagined view of China. In the middle ground is a walled town and a pagoda set on a high peak. Gentle slopes rise in the distance. Color is used sparingly to pick out different types of trees. The artist, Kimura Kenkadō, was first a sake (rice wine) merchant and later sold stationery in Osaka. In retirement, he became an art collector and painter, as well as a host of painting exhibitions.
