[15] View of Flowers and Birds

This painting was known as a Sugido-e (painting on cedar-board doors) painted by Okamoto Shuuki that decorated the main entrance of the Ninomaru palace. There are 4 motifs, a peafowl with a rock, a bird with mulberry wood, a carp with a pine tree and wisteria flowers, and plum blossoms. High techniques, for example, representing the wooden grain as a water surface shown in the motif of a carp with a pine tree and wisteria flowers are used in this painting.

[15] 花鳥図

小田原城二の丸御屋形の正面玄関を飾っていたと言われる杉戸絵で、小田原藩お抱え絵師、岡本秋暉が描いたものです。岩に孔雀・桑の木に鳥、鯉に松藤・梅花の4種類の図柄があります。鯉に松藤図のように、杉の木目を水面に見立てるなど、杉戸の特徴を匠に取り入れた技巧が見られます。
