1936. [SAPPORO - PAINTING]. Traditional Painting of Sapporo, Hokkaido. Rich Nihonga colors on silk. Three panels, each is about 28.5" X 41.5", making the entire triptych about 10 feet long. A monumental work which diplays Sapporo and its environs in a traditional birdseye style, with a backdrop of mountains, near the sea. Done in Showa 11 (1936) place names are handbrushed in an elegant hand on tiny gold-leaf cartouches affixed to the painting. A wonderful evocation of traditional art, here displaying the modern city of Sapporo with its mass transit facilities, sports coliseum, modern factories and highways, along with shrines, temples, etc., etc. Aside from a few minor damp spots in the last image which are scarcely noticeable, a beautiful work in lovely condition.
