Works by Nagasawa Rosetsu (長沢芦雪, 1754-1799), in the public domain: hanging scrolls, folding screens and sliding panels painted in ink and color, published online by the museums that hold them, each linked to its museum record. The photographs are those of the museums (public domain or CC0); the mountings of the scrolls and the frames of the screens are removed by the cropping: the site shows only the painting. The titles are those of the museums, in English, with their translation.
