Kano Seisen’in Osanobu, an appointed painter of the Edo shogunate in the late Edo period, actively produced reproductions of classic works, especially temple and shrine treasures, (treasure reproductions). In this research project, a comprehensive survey of his treasure reproductions, owned by Tokyo National Museum, was conducted with the aim to clarify the scope of the works produced by Osanobu and his disciples. Particularly, the treasure reproductions copied on the way to Atami, a hot spring which Osanobu visited for healing purposes in 1843, were investigated in great detail, together with “Koyo Nikki “, a journal in which Osanobu records the details of his duties in his own words.
