Artists     THE SPECIFIC ARTISTS OF THE EDO PERIOD represented in this collection painted in a pure Japanese tradition. You will notice throughout, a lack of Nanga style; that is, a school which imitated the literate artists of China. Artists of the Nanga School prided themselves in trying to hide their skill in the stroke of their brush and therefore eliminated from their art the part I appreciate the most. Hoitsu Jakuchu Kiitsu Kunisada Rosetsu Shohaku Sosen Zeshin
