A Late Edo to Showa Period manuscript album, being a monumental collection of 47 beautiful paintings in tanzaku strip format, all attributed to at least 40 distinct artists of the 19th to 20th century, including some rather notable examples and literati figures.

The subjects are all varying and different in nature and style, but there are considerable focuses on natural landscapes and floral scenes, and quite a few have been brilliantly illuminated or highlighted in gold, and at least six are on silk or some type of fabric. Watercolors, ink wash, Southern School styles and more, there is no shortage of variety and vivid work here.

The tremendous list of attributed artists includes, but is not limited to the following, with their respective artist seals and/or signatures:

Kono Bairei (1844-1895), Baisen Hirai (1889-1969), Shunkyo Yamamoto (1872–1933), Chihaya Sasaki, Mitsui Iiyama (1880-1934), Hideyo Morofuji (1901-?), Iwanami Sozan (1815-1894), Okumoto Seiun (1899-1962), Yokoyama Seiki (1792-1864), Nomura Seiroku (1916-1995), Hachikushi Yamaguchi (1890‐1933), Nakamura Sashu (1873-1953) Nishiyama Suisho (1879-1958), Kumano Gyokuto, Uda Daikyo (1899-1977), Naoko Fukada (1861-1947), Takasu Hakuun (1900-?), Bunshō Kasumi (1905-1998), Suma Taisui (1868-1955), Imao Keisho (1902-1993), Hashimoto Kansetsu (1883-1945), Atomi Gyokue (1859-1943), Tomita Keisen (1879-1936), Kosai Suizan (1865-?), Suikō Fukuda (1895-1973), Shoka Hitomi (1896-1968), Hirota Momoyo (1876-1955), Watanabe Aiko, Kanemoto Shuntō , Mako Tatsuo, Hirafuku Hyakusui (1877-1933), Hobun Kikuchi (1868-1918), Nishiyama Hoen (1807–1867), Masako Tashiro (1913-1995), Chosei Miwa (1901-1983), Fudo Tateyama (1886-1975), Sekita Hanatei (1866-1919), and others.

Each painting has been mounted on another layer of paper for preservation, and in some cases thicker, fine strip boards, then laid down and bound in a large album, with brocade decorated covers against white flowering swirls.

One painting album of tanzaku format paintings in orihon format (39.4 x 18.3 cm), 47 paintings in strip format

This painting album is in very good shape, with minimal rubbing and wear to the covers, with a few dents to the outer edges of the thick leaves. There is very little foxing or soiling throughout, and only one painting shows signs of wear and a few creases. Two of the paintings that were mounted by glue are detached.
