These paintings are close in style to a pair of landscapes by Kantei in the Mary Griggs Burke Collection, New York, and to a pair formerly in the John B. Elliott Collection. For the Burke paintings see Miyeko Murase, Bridge of Dreams: The Mary Griggs Burke Collection of Japanese Art, exh,. cat. (New York: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, 2000), pl. 64.
