Anotations

Scope note:

Refers to the style of folk painting that developed in Okiwake from the Kan'ei era (1624-44). Popular with pilgrims to the nearby temple of Midera and other travellers, the style is characterized by works drawn in ink and plain colors, often illustrating popular folk tales or common religious beliefs. During the Meiji period (1868-1912), their quality declined and production dwindled.
