Imaginary Portrait of Shundai Dazai, late 1700s-1800s. Tani Bunchō (Japanese, 1763-1841). Hanging scroll; ink and color on paper; overall: x cm (51 1/2 x 15 in.); painting only: 38 x cm (14 15/16 x 10 9/16 in.). Shundai (1680-1747) was a noted Confucian scholar and writer. Brought up with a strongly Confucian family background, Bunch.’s veneration for Shundai is understandable. The inscription is by Nozawa Hikoroku, a scholar and poet contemporary with Buncho.
