Ganku Kishi Gallery of the Reader Collection of Japanese Flower-and-Bird Art

Ganku developed his own style of painting, now called the Kishi school. He had previously studied the Kanō painting style plus the painting styles of Shen Nanp’in and maruyama-shijō artists. The Kishi painting style most closely ressembles the latter. Eleven of Ganku’s flower and (or) bird paintings are included in this gallery. Click on a picture to enlarge it.
