真景図を写す : 武元登々庵をめぐる画家 大西圭斎と大原東野

漢詩人、書家として知られる武元登々庵（1767 ～ 1818）は寛政11 年（1799）から翌年にかけて画家大西圭斎とともに奥州を旅した。登々庵は圭斎が描いた「真景図」をもとに「登々庵奥遊詩画巻」（広島県立歴史博物館、重要文化財「菅茶山関係資料」）を別の画家に描かせ、儒学者菅茶山に見せた。茶山は「登々庵奥遊詩画巻」とは別に圭斎の「真景図」を写させて画帖の「登々庵奥遊詩画」（広島県立歴史博物館、重要文化財「菅茶山関係資料」）を作っている。茶山の弟子で尾道の豪商でもある松本孟執（泉屋治右衛門）が「登々庵奥遊詩画巻」を自ら写したのが「奥秘三勝」（岡山県立博物館）である。登々庵の周辺では実景に接しない画家によって登々庵の実体験に結びつく作品が作られていた。「真景」と題された作品を我々は画家の実体験と結びつけがちだが、画家ではなく注文主、賛者にとっての「真景」を想定できる。実景に接しない画家による実景図が多数作られたことを思えば、「真景」でも同様に画家の実体験を伴わない「真景図」が考えられる。From 1799 to 1800, the famous poet and calligrapher Takemoto Totoan (1767-1818) travelled around Oshu in the Tohoku region with the painter Onishi Keisai. Totoan later commissioned another painter to create the hand scroll Totoan Oyu Shigakan (Poems and Paintings from Totoan’s Journey to Oshu ; Hiroshima Prefectural Museum of History, Koyo Sekiyo bunko, Kan Chazan Collection), which depicts four views from the journey based on true-view sketches by Keisai. Totoan showed this scroll to Kan Chazan, a famous Confucian scholar, who then had another painter make an album after Keisai’s sketches that bears the same title as the scroll: Totoan Oyu Shiga (Poems and Paintings from Totoan’s Journey to Oshu; Hiroshima Prefectural Museum of History, Koyo Sekiyo bunko,Kan Chazan Colleciton). Moreover, Chazan’s pupil, Matsumoto Moshu, who was also known as the wealthy merchant Izumiya Jiemon of Onomichi, painted OhiSansho (Three Secret Views of Oshu ; Okayama Prifectural Museum) based on the scroll. Thus, a number of painters were depicting views that Totoan, not they, had witnessed

To Bigotry No Sanction, To Persecution No Assistance: Jews in the American Revolutionary Period

While Jews were a small minority in the American colonies, they nonetheless participated in the American Revolution on both sides.
