A Study of Edo Period Painting Schools with Official Patronage

直到最近，江户时代的美术史研究一直只对麟画、文京画、浮世绘等公共赞助的画派感兴趣。事实上，对官方赞助的绘画学校的历史态度，在这个时期被视为主要的绘画学校，已经戏剧性地转变为一种冷漠的态度。与美术史学术研究的总体趋势相反，该项目处理了大量江户时期的画作，直接目的是研究那些受到官方赞助的艺术家。该项目包括通过对公共和私人机构以及私人收藏家所持有的作品进行检查和拍摄，以资源和复制品（35毫米彩色幻灯片）的形式收集每件艺术品的大量材料。每件艺术品的信息都被组织到一个自己设计的框架中，并输入到个人电脑中。因此，该项目制作了一个日本近代早期绘画的计算机数据库，其核心是江户时代接受官方赞助的画家的作品。目前，已经积累了大量的资料，并按照艺术家、艺术流派、标题、创作日期等类别进行了分类。材料，签名，印章，位置，加入号，尺寸和质量评估。通过引用、重组和提取特定范围的属性，现在可以将收集到的材料实际应用于各种目的。由此，该项目开始填补江户时代绘画研究的空白。此外，通过将官方赞助的画派及其类似的公共赞助画派作为调查对象，本项目还确定了日本绘画史的总体情况。此外，积累的资料与再现档案之间的各种整理，为重新构建江户时代绘画及其历史发展的框架提供了新的基础。少

Until recently, art historical research of the Edo period has been solely interested in schools of painting with public patronage such as Rimpa, Bunjinga, and Ukiyoe. Indeed, the historical attitude toward painting schools with official patronage, which were viewed as the leading schools of painting during the period in question, has changed dramatically to one of cool indifference. In opposition to the general trend of art historical scholarship, this project dealt with numerous Edo period paintings for the direct purpose of studying those artists with official patronage.The groject consisted of amassing a large quantity of material on each artwork in the form of resources and reproductions (35mm color slides) attained through the examination and photographing of works held by both public and private agencies as well as private collectors. The information on each artwork was organized into a selfdesigned framework and entered into a personal computer. As a result, the project produced … More a computer data base on paintings of the Early Modern period in Japan, the core of which is the artwork of painters receiving official patronage during the Edo period. At present, the vast amount of information has been accumulated and classified according to categories such as artist, artistic school, title, date of execution. material, signature, seals, location, accession number, size, and quality evaluation. Through referencing, reorganization, and extraction of a specific range of attributes, practical application of the collected materials is now possible for a variety of purposes.Thus, the project begins to fill the gap in Edo period painting research. Moreover, by making the painting schools with official patronage and their parallels, publicly patronized schools of painting, the object of the investingation, this project also ascertains the circumstances of Japanese painting history in general. In addition, the various collations between the accumulated information and the reproduction files provide a new foundation from which one can restructure the framework of Edo period painting and its historical development.
