You see a collection of paintings in an album, created by Fan Qi. The album is interesting because it shows the rhythms of life, modeled after older Chinese art styles. It also has a comment from a Japanese artist, Tomioka Tessai, who liked Fan Qi's work. Check out the museum where this album is kept, The Cleveland Museum of Art.
The Japanese artist Tomioka Tessai (1836-1924) adds a colophon on the last page, commenting on the rarity of Fan Qi's paintings among those of the Eight Masters of Nanjing. They were modeled after Tang and Song masters and captured the rhythms of life. "Whenever I open this album, my mind is pleased," he writes.
