拍品专文

Hanabusa Itcho (1652-1724) is known for his painting of Korean envoys, a subject which appealed to other artists of the Hanabusa school including Ichien (see Kobayashi Tadashi, ed., Hanabusa Itcho, Nihon no bijutsu 260 [Tokyo: Shibundo, 1988], no. 78). According to Kobayashi, Korean envoys came to Japan in 1711 and 1719, at which time Itcho painted the young envoy with the long braid who reappears in this work by his follower Ichien.
