Footnotes

Kishi Renzan was a leading pupil and adoptive son of Kishi Ganku, and (along with Gantai) became leader of the Kishi school after Ganku's death. Best known for his decorative wall paintings in the Imperial Palace and honoured as one of the 'Four Great Masters of Kyoto' toward the end of his life, he used his fast and lively brush technique to create this dramatic reinterpretation of Ganku's favourite subject.
