Footnotes
This is a considerably enlarged copy of a screen by Tawaraya Sori (active 1764-80) in the Feinberg Collection, Bethesda, MD., USA. See Matthew McKelway, Silver Wind: The Arts of Sakai Hoitsu (1761-1828), New York, 2012, cat. no.3. The Sori screen is regarded as an important example of the transition between the styles of Ogata Korin (1658-1716) in Kyoto and his artistic successor Sakai Hoitsu in Edo.
