A pair of rakuchū rakugai screens painted while the Tokugawa were attacking Osaka Castle, perhaps for a wealthy townsman rather than a daimyo: Kyoto as Hideyoshi had rebuilt it, seen from a much lower altitude than the Rekihaku screens, streets crowded with people. The first panels of the right screen show Hōkōji with Hideyoshi’s Great Buddha and, above, his mausoleum; the left screen ends in the Tokugawa’s Nijō Castle — the old regime and the new side by side, with the portable shrines of the Gion festival between them. 1 Mason 2005, pp. 245–247, fig. 281. ↩ Literatur Mason 2005: Penelope E.
