Recalling an Imperial Visit c. 19th century

"Recalling an Imperial Visit" is a 19th-century Japanese calligraphy work by Yamanaka Shinten'ō (1822–1885). The work is a vertical scroll, a popular format in Japanese art, showcasing the artist's masterful brushstrokes and skillful use of ink. The abstract arrangement of characters, often associated with poetic themes, is characteristic of Japanese calligraphy. This piece, now located in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, serves as a reminder of the importance of imperial visits and the artistic traditions of 19th-century Japan.
