Landscape with Tower 

"Landscape with Tower" is a six-panel screen by the Japanese artist Ike no Taiga (1723-1776), housed in the Tokyo National Museum. This elaborate work depicts a fantastical landscape, rich in detail and populated with figures traversing paths, bridges, and mountains. Taiga was a pioneer of the Nanga style of painting, which emphasized a more free and expressive approach to brushwork and composition, inspired by Chinese literati painting traditions. The work's vibrant colors, intricate details, and sense of depth create a mesmerizing and immersive experience, inviting viewers to explore this imagined world.
