Nagasawa Rosetsu (長沢芦雪, 1754–1799) was an 18th-century (Edo period) Japanese painter of the Maruyama School, known for his versatile style. He was born to the family of a low-ranking samurai. He studied with Maruyama Ōkyo in Kyoto.[2][3]
This particular scroll was made in the Yamato Hyougu style. Even though the Hashira are very thin, I do not consider this the Rinpou Hyougu style. It is completed with a gold kinran with accompanying fuutai, a blue ivy arabesque Chuumawashi, and a gold arabesque Ten/Chi. I had purchased over 10 years ago some wooden jikusaki that had a black and gold pattern attached on paper. I had never felt this fit for any of my scrolls, but when I saw this painting, I just knew the black and gold reminded me of the Otera in which this bell would reside.
