DiaporamaScenes of the Four Seasons in Kyoto
1778
31.0 x 508.0 cm
The bucolic western environs of Kyoto are depicted in the opening spring scene of this scroll. The work closely follows a painting in the Tokugawa Art Museum in Nagoya by Genki’s teacher, Maruyama Ōkyo (1733–1795), who championed realistic techniques in eighteenth-century Kyoto. Drawing on traditional themes of famous scenic spots and seasonal activities, Genki depicted the ordinary citizens of Kyoto performing everyday activities and put emphasis on the landscape setting.
