Fishing in a Springtime Valley

Texto del museo

In this colorful work, a river flows from a Chinese mountain village, passing through farms on its way to the fishing town nestled in trees and bamboo along the banks in the foreground. Two people set out in a boat on the calm water where the river expands. Though Ike Taiga first made a living after his father’s early death by selling paintings on fans, he found a place within Kyoto’s bunjin community and became one of its leading figures.
