At precisely the same moment that Sakai Hoitsu and his followers were resurrecting the so-called Rimpa style in Edo (Tokyo), Nakamura Hochu was spearheading a similar revival in the Kyoto-Osaka area. Hochu published his own catalogue on Ogata Korin's paintings in 1802, more than a decade before Hoitsu's research was printed.
Ripe persimmons on a branch is an autumnal scene rare in Hochu's repertoire, as is the single-panel, standing screen format. The soft wash, puddled pigments and boldly naive brush gestures that define the image are in marked contrast to the precision and polish of Rimpa-style paintings produced in Edo.
