Antique Japanese Flower Basket Painting | Flower Basket by Watanabe Kiyoshi

Yamato-e painting mounted on a scroll. Painting features a basket filled with flowers. Painted by 渡辺清 Watanabe Kiyoshi (1778-1861).

Watanabe Kiyoshi was a Yamato-e painter from Nagoya. He started painting as a child and later went on to study painting alongside 中林竹洞 Nakabayashi Chikuto (1776-1853) and 山本梅逸 Yamamoto Baiitsu (1783-1856)  under 土佐光貞 Tosa Mitsusada (1738-1806) and 田中訥言 Tanaka Totsugen (1767-1823) in Kyoto. He later opened an art school in Nagoya. Kiyoshi’s paintings were well received in Nagoya and he had many pupils. His works followed the style of Totsugen’s style but were popular for their elegant depictions and graceful colors.
