Unkoku Tojo
Unkoku Tojo was a Japanese painter active during the Edo period, working primarily in ink on paper in the literati painting tradition. He belonged to the Unkoku school, continuing a lineage of ink painters established in the sixteenth century. His work engaged with Chinese Chan Buddhist aesthetics and landscape conventions while developing a distinctly Japanese sensibility. This profile will be expanded as more verified source material becomes available.
