An haunting 17th century sumi-e image of a goose at twilight by Kano Toun (1624-1694) in the original Edo silver threaded brocade border patterned with clouds, upper and lower extensions of heavy coffee colored cloth ending in ivory rollers. The almost complete dominance of white seems to convey a passage through space, from clarity into obscurity, leaving the viewer with a slight sense of loss echoing in ones memory. Kano Toun, (born Masanobu, 3rd son of Goto Mitsuyori) first learned painting under Hogan, then became the pupil of Kano Tanyu (1602-1675). The influence of Tanyu on the painter is obvious. This is one of the finest scrolls we have owned. It measures 10 1/2 inches by 56 inches and is in fine condition.
