by no means an easy matter, considering his subjects and
method of treatment. His productions, too, show great free-
dom in the use of his brush. His Autumn Scene in a Wood,
now at the Exhibition, and by no means his best work, shows
the highly decorative style of his painting.
Kawai Gyokudo, who paints landscapes almost exclusively,
is famed for the solitude and quietude his works invariably
bespeak. This artist came from Kyoto. He was a pupil of
Bairei, though when he first came to Tokyo he studied under

Ashikaga period. His New Moon, now at the Exhibition,
may be taken as a typical example of his work. Other noted
examples are A Spring Shower, Deer in Autumn, and The Fis/ier-
