Rokaku Landscape Painting on a Folding Screen
by the Unkoku School

　The Unkoku School was patronized by the Mori clan and succeeded the painting style of Sesshu from generation to generation in the Edo period. This picture was painted in the late years’ style of Togan Unkoku’s. Unkoku Togan was the founder of the school and the picture was painted in his late years’ painting style. Probably this painting will be the joint work of his disciples.

Late Spring by Keisuke Murakami

　Keisuke Murakami (1907~2005) was born in Hagi. After graduating from the Tokyo Fine Arts School (the predecessor of Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music), he painted lots of Japanese-style paintings in Hagi.

Writing of “Nen Toku no sho”
by Mokujiki
(Hagi Municipal Cultural Property)

　When Mokujiki stayed at Ogawa in Tamagawa, he was received cardinally, and he wrote the phrase in return for the favor. In the letter “Nen” of the phrase, the name of “the Seven Deities of Good Fortune” can be seen. “Nen Toku” means God who presides over good luck of the forthcoming year. Good luck lies in the direction of God. It is said that the direction will bring us happiness and prosperity.
