It is by Okio. Kuwannon, the Com- passionate, sits in contemplation beside the descending stream of life." About I 773 arose a legitimate successor to the school of Torii in the adopted son of Kiyomitsu, Kiyonaga. He discarded the theatrical tradition of his school, but the boldness of his drawing was foreign to the style of Harunobu. " I~Iis brush had a superhuman power and swing." He rivalled the three great masters, Koriusai, Shigemasa, founder of Kitao, and Toyoharu of Utagawa, and the mast...ers of Ukiyo-ye, for- saking their individual predilections, flocked to his studio. The simplicity and dignity of the early Italian masters, sought after- and adored by the pre-Raphaelite brotherhood, their noble lines and contours, aie again realized in the panels of Kiyonetga. Professor Fenol- losa said that " cleissic " is the instinctive term to apply to Kiyonaga, and that his figures at their best may be placed side by side with Greek vase painting. Ideally beautiful is the fall of his drapery, determining the lines of the figure in the fewest possible folds.
