From the museum
Kusakabe Meikaku, one of the three most famous Japanese calligraphers of his time, provided a title leaf, CMA 1979.73.1.1, for a pair of albums of paintings after Ike Taiga (池大雅) (1723–1776) by his student Aoki Shukuya (青木夙夜) (died 1802). Murata Kōkoku, a well-traveled painter with an extensive network of colleagues in China and Japan, wrote a postscript for the albums in which he explained that the paintings are faithful copies after Taiga’s images of rocks, mountains, residences, and so forth. These two artists respectfully documented Shukuya’s work more than 100 years after his death.
