Tsuchida Bakusen (1887-1936) is an artist who played an important role in the field of Japanese painting from Taisho period to early Showa period. He painted a lot of pictures of ‘Maiko’.“Bugi-Rinsen (A Maiko and a Garden)” is one of his most important ‘Maiko’ pictures. But it is different from other ‘Maiko’ pictures, because a garden was fully painted as a background. The garden is that of Tenju-an Temple at Nanzen-ji in Kyoto. It is consisted of a pond, a peninsula, arranged stones, stone islands, a stone bridge, pine trees, maple trees and a background mountain. It is a traditional pond garden in Kyoto. Bakusen thought that this kind of garden was a most suitable landscape for ‘Maiko’, the ideal of artificial beauty in a sense. This choice reflects his view of gardens.
