The beach of Banshu Maiko ( Kobe city) is a showplace in which the pine stands in a row along the sea, and Awajishima of the opposite bank emphasizes the beautiful seascape. Other artists like Shiba Koukan and Hiroshige also made this scenery a precise picture.
The back is figure of Itousaki Beach which is located between Onomichi city and Mihara city. It prospered for a long time as a key point in the marine traffic.
The depicted scenery under the sea seems to have some connection with one of the Waka s ( tanka poetries) from Manyo-shu (the earliest extant collection of Japanese poetry).
The figure of the Maiko Beach was depicted as a Shinkei-zu that is a type of landscape painting based on naturalistic depiction of a particular place. This painting skill creates wide panorama of far-away Awajishima from the height.
The description of the water plant that shakes to the water current is drawn very beautiful and fluently.
It is work and Taketa house of an imperial prince's (one of the royalties) old warehouse goods at about the end of shogunate.
Furosaki Byoubu is a two-panel fan, and as for this work, the hollyhock that arranged the mum and the mark of shogunate is used. The crest of the mum was only permitted to use for the emperor and the royalty at that time. The mark of the shogunate is also similar.
It might have sent to the Taketa house of an imperial prince by the end of shogunate or the shogunate.
It is a style of painting of the Shijo faction in Kyoto . Scenery is drawn in both sides by a very elegant style of painting.
Both two sides of two pieces have paintings. Good impression , color and condition.
The title " Banshu Maikohama zu ,Bingo Itozaki Kaikei zu " is shown on the surfice of the wooden box.
