Takuma School - Takumaha

Japanese: 宅磨派 - たくまは

Also written as Takuma or Takuma. Founded by Takuma Tamenari in the late Heian period, this school of Buddhist painters continued until the early Muromachi period and is known as the Kose school. It was followed by Tameto, Katsuga (→Takuma Katsuga), Tamehisa, Tameyuki, Toshiga, Nagaga, and Eiga. Starting with Tameto's son Katsuga, the Takuma school produced Buddhist paintings in the old style, but also adopted new styles and techniques from the Song Dynasty, ahead of its time, and established a distinctive style of painting. Some of the members became monks, and were active in meeting the demand for Taimitsu esoteric Buddhist rituals at temples such as Jingo-ji, Kozan-ji, and Kyoogokoku-ji. By the time of Takuma Eiga, who painted the inscribed "Portrait of Kakinomoto no Hitomaro" (Tokiwayama Bunko) in 1395, the style had stagnated as it combined Japanese and Chinese. Tamehisa and Tameyuki got close to the emerging samurai government early on, and went to Kamakura to create murals in temples and pagodas, among other things.

Japanese:

詫磨，宅間とも書く。平安時代後期の宅磨為成を祖とし，室町時代前期まで存続した絵仏師の画系で巨勢 (こせ) 派と並称される。為遠，勝賀 (→宅磨勝賀 ) ，為久，為行，俊賀，長賀，栄賀などが続く。為遠の息子勝賀以降，宅磨派は旧様の仏画制作とともに，時代にさきがけて宋代仏画の新しい様式技法を摂取し，特色ある画風を確立した。なかには出家する者がおり，神護寺，高山寺，教王護国寺をはじめ台密の修法などの需要に応じて活躍した。応永2 (1395) 年著賛の『柿本人麻呂像』 (常盤山文庫) を描いた宅磨栄賀にいたって，和漢融合した画風となり停滞した。為久，為行は早くから新興武家政権に接近し，鎌倉に下って堂塔壁画などの制作にあたった。
