A Legacy of Splashing Ink: The Life and Art of Maruyama Ozui Maruyama Ozui, born in Kyoto in 1766 and passing away in 1829, occupies a fascinating position within the landscape of Japanese painting. Though often overshadowed by his father, the celebrated Maruyama Ōkyo—the founder of the influential Maruyama school—Ozui carved out his own distinct artistic identity, becoming renowned for his dynamic depictions of fish, waterfalls, and landscapes imbued with a remarkable sense of energy. His work represents not merely imitation but a sensitive continuation and evolution of the family’s aesthet…
A chart of maruyama ozui's corpus mapped not by date but by subject. Spokes are what they painted; rings are when; and the threads between stars reveal the patrons and places that secretly connect them.
Each arm of the atlas gathers works by what they depict: portraits, sacred scenes, mythologies, and the scientific studies. Click a spoke to swing that cluster to the top.
Distance from the center marks time. The innermost ring is the earliest period; the outermost, the final years. Style matures as you move outward.
Coloured lines link works bound by the same patron, commission, or theme. Trace a context to watch related clusters light up across subjects.
