Description :
By the 19th century, the simple paintings produced in Otsu had become famous throughout Japan, and artists of other schools sometimes imitated the Otsu-e style. Hogyoku, an artist of the Shijo School, borrowed the wisteria maiden, a theme commonly rendered by Otsu-e artists, for this woodblock-printed fan. His own artistic pedigree is evident only in the slight softening of the outlines and colors. Otherwise, he imitates the rough, exuberant style of Otsu-e.
