Tokugawa Nariaki

Tokugawa Nariaki is a Nanga artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

Tokugawa Nariaki made bold black ink calligraphy in the 1800s. One piece you can see here is called Snow, Moon, Flower Calligraphy, written in 1850, a single scroll where three simple words float across white paper, each character balanced and strong. The style belongs to the Edo period, when artists used brush and ink to capture fleeting moments in just a few strokes. Tap Snow, Moon, Flower Calligraphy to zoom in on those dark characters against the empty page.
