鹤群，18世纪-石田裕泰
-Ishida Yutei was the teacher of Maruyama Okyo (1733–1795), the famous and influential champion of Western-influenced naturalism in Japan during the 18th century and founder of the Maruyama School. Although trained in the traditional Kano school methods, Yutei was typical of Kano artists of his time in adopting an eclectic approach to painting. Here, he combined the monumentality and stylization associated with Kano painting with the repetition of a single theme often seen in Rinpa school painting. While Yutei may have derived the postures of individual cranes from Kano instruction manuals, the idea of combining them all to depict an entire flock presages Okyo\'s interest in naturalism.
