Title: Plum Blossoms and Peonies *About the calligraphy, we try to write what we have deciphered as much as possible. If it is not written, it means that it could not be deciphered. We can translate the deciphered calligraphy to English. But, if it is a poem or in Chinese, it cannot be translated. Artist: Kameda Bosai (1752-1826) was a calligrapher, literati and Confucian scholar born in Tokyo. At the age of 23, he opened a private school and had more than 1000 pupils. But, he lost most of his pupils because he was considered as one of Goki (five demons) of the Kansei era, opposing Kansei Igaku no Kin (the prohibition of heterodoxy in the Kansei era) with the other four Confucians. After he closed the school, he traveled around and got famous for his calligraphy. He was considered as one of Sampuku-tsui (triplicity) of Shitaya with Tani Buncho (1763-1840) and Sakai Hoitsu (1761-1829), who were his lifelong friends. 翠雲 *We indicate the artist's name based on a signature and seal and also the style for convenience, but please understand that it is not a thing to guarantee an original or an imitation (reproduction).
