Signed Unkoku Toyu (1660-1716) Flowers & Birds of Winter and Early Spring A Six-panel Japanese Screen. Ink, color and gold leaf on paper. This later 17th century Japanese screen is signed Unkoku Tōyū (1660–1716), a leading figure of the Unkoku school in the early Edo period. Tōyū was the eldest son of Unkoku Tōji, and he carried forward a lineage that deliberately anchored itself in the authority of Sesshū Tōyō.
