The eldest son of the great Kyoto artist
Maruyama Okyo (1733-1795), Ozui is
generally renowned for his close fidelity to his
father’s pictorial manner. Here, however, his
model is the style of richly detailed Buddhist
painting established by the Chinese painter
Li Longmin (1049- 1106), whose name is
traditionally associated with several sets of
rakan painting preserved in Japanese temple
collections.
