宗達における伝統と創造の一側面 : 静嘉堂文庫藏「関屋澪標図屏風」を例にして

抄録

The Style of old scroll paintings that Sotatsu used as a model for his figures, including the case of "Sekiya-Miotsukushi" screens, is "classical", in respect to the knowledge of Yamato-e in the early Edo period. Sotatsu picked out the most "classical" form from the many traditions surrounding him. In the case of the "Sekiya-Miotsukushi" screens, Sotatsu took "classical" scroll paintings as a model for his figures, but, on the other hand, he composed this work in a very unique style, which had never been seen before in any other figures including old scroll paintings, disregarding the fixed pattern of "Genji-e" which was standard in that time. For example, he used no golden-clouds (Kin-un) and showed the full scene, ordered the figures and landscape along the diagonal of each screen, limited the number of colors by omitting high-bright ones and unified the whole picture with color. Therefore, he was also unique in the problem of tradition and creativity. Though he selected the most "classical" of the many traditions surrounding him, he did not copy it, but he digested it fully and used it in his original style. This unique relation between tradition and creativity in the work of Sotatsu would be thought to be a result of the influence of Honami Koetsu.
