The right of these paired screens shows a spring field with fully blooming cherry blossom and a pheasant in flight, while the left side is an autumnal view with a Japanese maple shedding its leaves and a flock of wild geese in the distance. The powerful brush strokes of the Kano school are evident in the tree trunks and the depictions of rocks, giving an accent to the screens. In addition, the western aerial perspective is employed effectively to express the depth of space stretching from the middle ground to the distance. This is a work from the mature period of Hashimoto Gaho, who was an instructor of the first graduates of Tokyo Art School.

ARTIST
Hashimoto Gaho
(1835-1908)
Born in Edo, Hashimoto Gaho learned the painting techniques of the Kano school from his father Hashimoto Osakuni , and at just thirteen years of age became a student of Kano Tadanobu. He was known to be the most gifted student of his studio, and became an independent painter at twenty-six. Later he was introduced to Ernest Fenollosa, an American art historian who specialized in Japanese art, and Okakura Tenshin, which led to him taking up a position at the Tokyo School of Fine Arts which was founded in 1888. As an instructor there he educated many talented artists such as Yokoyama Taikan. In 1898, he stepped down from this post together with Tenshin as a result of tensions in the school, and became an executive member of the Japan Art Academy. He is referred to as the father of modern Japanese-style painting.
