HARUTOSHI is known to me only by one pillar-print, in the manner of Shigenaga's actors. It is doubtful where he should be classified. AKIYAMA SADAHARU, HIROSE SHIGENOBU, and RYŪKWADO ICHIICHIDO SHIGENOBU were obscure pupils of Shigenaga. YAMAMOTO YOSHINOBU is said by Fenollosa to have been a pupil of Shigenaga, and possibly the same as KOMAI YOSHINOBU, who is treated later under Harunobu. Dr. Kurth thinks him a member of a Yamamoto School, which comprised also YAMAMOTO DENROKU, YAMAMOTO SHIGENOBU, YAMAMOTO SHIGEFUSA, YAMAMOTO FUJINOBU, YAMAMOTO SHIGEHARU, TOMIKAWA GINSETSU also known as FUSANOBU, YAMAMOTO MARUYA KYŪYEIMON, YAMAMOTO KUZAYEIMON, and YAMAMOTO RIHEI.

Chandler Collection. _Plate 7._] TOYONOBU. _A Pillar Print._ O lady of the long robes, the slow folds flowing-- Lady of the white breast, the dark and lofty head-- Dwells there any wonder, the way that thou art going-- Or goest thou toward the dead? So calm thy solemn steps, so slow the long lines sweeping Of garments pale and ghostly, of limbs as grave as sleep-- I know not if thou, spectre, hast love or death in keeping, Or goest toward which deep. Thou layest thy robes aside with gesture large and flowing. Is it for love or sleep--is it for life or death? I would my feet might follow the path that thou art going, And thy breath be my breath. Ishikawa Toyonobu, who not many years ago was regarded as an artist of secondary importance, has of late, thanks to fresh discoveries, come to be esteemed by competent observers as one of the giants of the line--one of those masters among the Primitives whose dignity of composition makes all but a handful of his successors appear petty beside him.
