Description :
This print is from a series called Kenjo Hakkei (Virtuous Women for the Eight Views). This series of eight chu-tanzaku prints compares eight virtuous women of history with eight famous views. The "EIGHT VIEWS" was a theme borrowed from Chinese Poetry and adapted to various scenes in Japan, the subject for each scene being the same, with its attendant poem, whatever the locality. The eight subjects were : (1) Snow ; (2) Evening Rain ; (3) Autumn Moon ; (4) Vesper Bells ; (5) Boats Returning at Evening ; (6) Geese Flying to Rest ; (7) Sunset ; and (8) Clearing Weather after Rain. In this print, poetess Kaga no Chiyo watches a flight of geese as she sweeps autumn leaves. Example in Robert Schaap, "Heroes & Ghosts," #112, p. 112. B W Robinson, "The Warrior-Prints," S21, #8, p.115.
