Description

Iwasa Katsumochi Matabei (1578-1650) is one of the most controversial figures in Japanese art history. Was he, as he asserted, "the last Tosa" (the Yamato-e school), or "the founder of Ukiyo-e", the style of painting associated with the urban commoner class? This text discusses both arguments.
