Catalogue Note
Takeuchi Seiho, of Kyoto, trained under Kono Bairei (1844-1895), the Maruyama-Shijo school painter and later became one of the last masters of the Shijo tradition of painting. The school was strongly involved with the revival of Japanese style painting. Later in his life, after travelling abroad, he searched for a way to marry the naturalism of the schools style with Western realism.
