Partridges, Edo period, 1790. A government official, Seki Mitsubumi, was visiting Nagasaki in 1789 and commissioned a resident Chinese artist to paint a set of five handscrolls, showing birds which had been imported from China in 1762 on a boat called the Hachiban (Boat No. 8).On his return to Edo, Mitsubimi showed the paintigs to the publisher Matsumoto Zembei, who decided to publish a selection as a deluxe woodblock -printed album. Masayoshi was employed to copy the Chinese artist's paintings. JA, JIB90
