Note: Kiritani (Kirigaya) Senrin (1876/77-1932). Sources: A Dictionary of Japanese Artists: Painting, Sculpture, Ceramics, Prints, Lacquer, Laurance P. Roberts, Weatherhill, 1976, p. 80; Woodblock Kuchi-e Prints: Reflections of Meiji Culture, Helen Merritt and Nanako Yamada, University of Hawaii Press, 2000, p. 203 and as footnoted. Born Fukami Chōnosuke in 1877 in Niigata prefecture, he was adopted by the Kiriya family at the age of 24. Starting around 1897, he studied under the Japanese-style (nihonga) artists Tomioka Eisen (1864-1905) until his death, and afterward with Hashimoto Gahō (1835-1908). Senrin also attended the Tokyo Art School extension course in Japanese painting, graduating in 1907. Senrin was an authority on Buddhist paintings and made copies of Buddhist paintings in Kyoto and Nara, as well as traveling in India from 1911 to 1913 and then again in 1917 to study the ancient Buddhist wall paintings in the Ajanta Caves. While he was most well-known for his own Buddhist paintings, he also designed kuchi-e for the novel "Ōishi Yoshio"1 by Tsukahara Jūshi-en (1848-1917), published by Ryūbunkan in 1906; illustrated for the "Kyoto hinode shimbun"2, and contributed six designs to the 1924 woodblock print series Taishō shinkasai mokuhangashū (Collection of Woodblock Prints of the Taishō Earthquake).
