Portrait of Ko Sukoku, possibly 1817. Creator: Watanabe Kazan (Japanese, 1793-1841); Tani Buncho (Japanese, 1763-1840) .

Portrait of Ko Sukoku, possibly 1817. Master of portraiture Watanabe Kazan?s memorial fan painting of the artist Ko Sukoku (1730-1804) features a variant on one of the deceased?s poems by painter Tani Buncho on the reverse. The short, unorthodox or comic poem ( haikai ) reads:  The grave is readied / and the sake warmed. / Oh, the cold!    Kazan was a disciple of Tani Buncho, one of the most prominent painters of his day. The two first met in 1817, the year of the 13th anniversary of Ko Sukoku?s death. In Japanese Buddhist practice, the 13th death anniversary requires special memorial services, so it has been speculated that the two collaborated on the fan at that time. Many painters and print designers of the Edo period socialized with one another through poetry circles where linked verse poems ( renga ) and haikai were composed.
