Kano Tan’yū studied prodigious numbers of works from the history of both Chinese and Japanese painting. The fruit of his study was a vast corpus of pattern books and drawings of works of art. This set of two scrolls is filled with an assortment of copies, studies, and sketches.The first scroll is unrolled to a section showing a study of a painting by Mu Qi, a Chinese Chan (Zen) Buddhist monk-painter of the Southern Song dynasty.
