Scope note
Refers to the work of a school of painters founded by Hasegawa Tohaku (1539-1610), probably located in Kyoto in or near Hompoji, a Nichiren temple affiliated with Tohaku's family. The style is characterized by typically large-scale works involving many rooms, with Chinese themes and motifs. It appears that Tohaku had four artist sons, but the school disappeared by the end of the 17th century.
