![]() Shijô (Kishi) WaterfallSigned: Renzan Gan Toku Seals: Gantoku noin, Azana Shidô Technique: sumi on silk 106.7 x 41.4 Mounting: beige raw silk 174 x 54.5 Condition: creases and frayed at the edges, otherwise fair Renzan was a pupil of Gan Ku (1749-1838) for more than ten years. When he married Gan Ku’s daughter he was adopted into the Kishi family. Like his father-in-law he was in the service of Arisugawa-no-Miya. Renzan absorbed many elements of the Shijô, so his work differs considerably from that of Gan Ku. After Gan Ku’s death, Renzan and Gan Tai (1782-1865) became the leaders of the Kishi School.
