kiyohara yukinobu (1643 – 1682)
Discover Kiyohara Yukinobu, a pioneering Japanese painter of the Kanō School. Admire her bold style & depictions of women like Murasaki Shikibu – a true artistic gem!
Tranquility pervades this delicate rendition of a traditional subject. Yukinobu, one of the few known female painters of the Edo period, was the daughter of Kusumi Morikage (ca. 1620–1690), a distinguished painter. Like her father, she reworked conventional themes from Muromachi ink painting in a personal manner. Here, the asymmetrical composition and realism recall twelfth-century Chinese academic prototypes of the subject, but Yukinobu’s treatment is distinctive for its delicate hint of domestic harmony in the disposition of the quail and the gently swaying stalks of grain.
