Excerpt from Impressions of Ukiyo-Ye: The School of the Japanese Colour-Print Artists Tosa has been characterized as the manifestation of ardent faith, through the purity of an ethereal style. Tosa represented the taste of the court of Kyoto, and was relegated to the service of the aristocracy; it re ected the esoteric mystery of Shinto and the hal lowed entourage of the divinely descended Mikado. The ceremonial of the court, its fetes and religious solemnities, - dances attended by daimios, in robes of state falling in full harmonious folds, - were depicted with consummate elegance and delicacy of touch, which betrayed familiarity with the occult methods of Persian miniature painting; The Tosa artists used very fine, pointed brushes, and set off the brilliance of their colouring with resplendent backgrounds in gold leaf and it is to Tosa we owe the intricate designs, almost microscopic in detail, which are to be seen upon the most beautiful specimens of gold lacquer work; and screens, which for richness have never been surpassed.
