"description": "Kitagawa S\u014dsetsu painted for the Maeda family, powerful rulers of what is present-day Ishikawa Prefecture on the central northern coast of Honsh\u016b, Japan\u2019s main island. Screens served as room dividers and backdrops in Maeda grand residences. This composition is considered one of the artist\u2019s masterpieces. Kitagawa S\u014dsetsu is thought to have been a student of Tawaraya S\u014dsetsu, who was in turn the student of Tawaraya S\u014dtatsu the Kyoto-based master painter regarded as the creator of the style that came to be known as Rinpa. By selecting a painter of this lineage, the Maeda family consciously connected their aesthetics to those of the imperial capital as a means of proclaiming their elevated status.",
