Kishiha

A school of painting from the late Edo period through the Meiji period. Its founder, Kishi Ganku (died 1839), was known for his expressive style of painting, and formed a major force in the Kyoto art world with many disciples, including his eldest son, Kishi Ganku (1782-1866), Kawamura Bunpo, Yokoyama Kazan, and Shirai Kayo, author of Gajo Yoraku. Kishi Ganku's adopted son, Kishi Renzan (1804-1859), transformed the school's distinctive style by incorporating the Shijo school's style, and Kishi Chikudo (1826-1897), who studied under him and later became his adopted son, painted not only tigers and birds and animals, the school's speciality, but also realistic landscapes incorporating Western-style shading and perspective. The Kishi school essentially ended with Takedo, but he played an important role in the Kyoto art world of the Meiji period alongside Kansai Mori and Bairei Kono. Tamagawa Mochizuki of the Mochizuki school also studied under Kishi, and his style was a fusion of the Shijo and Kishi schools.

江戸後期から明治にかけての画派。始祖岸駒(がんく)（1839没）は表出性の強い画風で知られ、その長男岸岱(がんたい)（1782―1866）をはじめ、河村文鳳(ぶんぽう)、横山華山、『画乗要略』の著者白井華陽ら、多くの門弟を擁して京都画壇に一勢力を形成した。岸駒の養子岸連山(きしれんざん)（1804―1859）は四条派の画風を加味して癖の強い家風を変容させ、彼に学んでのち養嗣子(ようしし)となった岸竹堂(きしちくどう)（1826―1897）は、この派の特技である虎(とら)や鳥獣だけでなく、洋画の陰影や遠近法を取り入れた写実的な風景画なども描いている。実質的に岸派はこの竹堂をもって終わるが、竹堂は森寛斎、幸野楳嶺(こうのばいれい)らと並んで明治の京都画壇に重きをなした。また、望月派(もちづきは)の望月玉川も岸駒に学んで、四条派と岸派が融合した画風をみせている。
