The Four Seasons

Kano Tan’yū

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image shows two sets of six-panel folding screens with a landscape painting on each. The paintings are in black and white with subtle brown tones. The top screen depicts a mountainous landscape with trees, boats on a body of water, and a temple on the right side. The bottom screen shows a mountainous landscape with a rocky cliff on the left, trees, and a body of water with a boat on the right side. Both screens have a border with a green patterned design. The style of the painting is traditional Japanese. The artist's name is Kano Tan'yū and the title is "The Four Seasons". The screens appear old with visible signs of aging.
