Jinshan Island and West Lake. Artist: Kano Sanraku (Japanese, 1559-1635). Culture: Japan. Dimensions: Image: 60 1/16 in. × 11 ft. 9 in. (152.5 × 358.2 cm)Overall with mounting: 67 5/16 in. × 12 ft. 4 1/4 in. (170.9 × 376.6 cm). Date: 1630.Though united visually by an ink landscape of rugged mountains and islands among expanses of water and mists rendered in gold wash, this pair of screens depicts two wholly separate scenic locales in eastern China. At right is Jinshan, an island located in the middle of the Yangzi River near the town of Zhenjiang in southern Jiangsu province. The island's many bridges, walkways, and paths are traversed by people from all walks of life--scholars, fisherman, and servants, among others--perhaps on their way to one of the temple halls scattered across the rugged terrain. The left screen meanwhile is a portrayal of West Lake, a storied site 150 miles south in the city of Hangzhou, whose city walls and gate can be seen in the lower-left foreground. Sanraku
