Label CopyThis screen displays a group of haiga, paintings with haiku poetry, that were copied after works by two of the greatest haiga masters, Yosa Buson (1716-1784) and Matsumura Goshun (1752-1811). The copyist, Mr. Yuzan, who included his seals on several of the pictures, has not been further identified, but must have been an admirer of the earlier masters. Assemblages of artworks on screens like this were popular among collectors in the late Edo and early Meiji periods.
