Catalog of Imperial Artworks - Gomotsuon Emo Kuroku

Japanese: 御物御画目録 - ごもつおんえもくろく

It lists Chinese paintings in the possession of successive Shoguns since Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, and one copy with a colophon by Noami still exists. There is no original and the date of writing is unknown, but it is thought to date from no later than Noami's time. It lists approximately 90 Chinese paintings in the Imperial Court's possession, divided into categories such as "paper," "large," "horizontal paper," "two scrolls," and "single scroll," and lists the title of each painting, as well as the artist and composer. It is an important resource for understanding the state of the Muromachi Shogunate's treasures. The copy is held by the Tokyo National Museum. [Eto Shun]
