Reading shinobazu pond. -- Before the discovery of shinobazu pond. -- Topos and image/ shinobazu pond. -- Shinobazu pond as a topos. -- The beauty by the edge of the pond. -- Visual framing devices/the circular window. -- The framing window and borrowed scenery: the literati window. . -- An unrecognized avant-Gardism.
Summary: The masterpiece of the Akita Ranga school, and the focus of this book, is Shinobazu Pond by Odano Natake. In this one work of art, which seems on the surface to be a tranquil landscape painting, are hidden allusions to portraits of beauties in Chinese art and literature, to legends about Shinobazu Pond in Japan and West Lake in China, and to contemporary Edo popular culture. Drawing on a quarter of a century of close study of Edo-period art and culture, Imahashi provides, in this major work of scholarhip, valuable context to the oeuvre of a group struggling to reconcile the art and thought of East and West a century before the 'opening' of Japan in the Meiji period, as well as insight into the thinking of Naotake, whose tragically short career was ended by his death in 1780, at the age of thirty.
