Tanaka Isson: "Kuroshio no Gafu" (Picture Album of the Black Current) Tanaka Isson, a genius painter. He was exceptionally skilled at drawing from a young age. He was unable to socialize, such as currying favor with or flattering the leading figures of the central art world. Disgusted with the art world, where those skilled in such things advanced, he abandoned it and left the Kanto region. He traveled south, eventually settling on Amami Island, a southern island, which he loved. He passionately painted the scenery of Amami. Alone in his hut, he continued to paint diligently. He was never recognized during his lifetime, but became famous after his death. This is a collection of his works that were featured on the NHK program "Sunday Museum," which was the catalyst for his fame. It is filled with Isson's wonderful paintings of Amami.
