Surimono usually paired poetic texts with images, and both were typically intended to carry the cachet of "insider knowledge" for a cultured and well-educated audience.

(2) Expert’s note: The direction towards the north is often associated with the deceased in Japan. During Buddhist funeral rites, the body of the deceased is oriented to the northern direction. This is the meaning behind the ritual of Kita-makura, meaning "Turning the dead person's head orientating to the north.” Tani Buncho (1763-1841) was a Japanese literati, painter, and poet. He was the son of the poet Tani Rokkoku (1729–1809). As his family were retainers of the Tayasu Family of descendants of the eighth Tokugawa shogun, Buncho inherited samurai status and received a stipend to meet the responsibilities this entailed. He studied under Kato Bunrei and Kitayama Kangen, developing a wide stylistic range. Yurei-zu are a genre of Japanese art consisting of painted or woodblock print images of ghosts, demons, and other supernatural beings. They are a subgenre of fuzokuga (‘pictures of manners and customs’). These types of artworks reached the peak of their popularity in Japan in 19th century.

TANI BUNCHO (1763-1840),

TANI BUNCHO (1763-1840) WATERFALL Ink on paper, inscribed, with a cyclical date equivalent to 1838, and with one seal, center right, mounted as a hanging scroll, Japanese wood roller-case and two Japanese wood boxes. H: 130 1/2, W: 55 3/4 in. PROVENANCE: Property from the Collection of Betty Borman, Los Angeles NOTE: Tani Buncho was one of the most influential literati artists in late Edo Japan. Highly successful and with a large number of students, Buncho's works are varied in style. In the present Waterfall painting, Buncho, with a simplicity of brushstroke and manipulation of the void as an important part of the composition, abstracts the cascading waters in a way modern eyes can immediately relate to. The large scale and concentration of ink to the outer edges offers a profound experience to the viewer, drawing them in, but serving to call attention to the latent energy within what might seem at first to be emptiness. To this end, the present work may be seen in the light of Zenga, Zen paintings, where limited, energetic strokes of the brush capture on paper the ephemeral as a guide or inspiration to the absolute.
