Travelogue of Three Mountains

Museum No.
AK46

This folding screen is composed of sketches by Ike Taiga (1723-76) and his friends, the Confucian scholar Kô Fuyô (1722-84) and writer Kan Tenju (1727-95), when they climbed three mountains, Mount Fuji, Tateyama, and Hakusan, in 1760. The sketches on notepaper were later pasted onto this screen. Various details, such as the price of items encountered along their hike, are recorded, making this work noteworthy both as an interesting painting as well as a travelogue from the Edo period (1616-1867).
