life and work

It is said that Noro Kaiseki began painting very early, under the guidance of Kakutei ( 鶴亭 ;? - 1785), a monk-painter of the Nagasaki school, whom he visited in Kyoto. There he made the acquaintance of Kuwayama Gyokushū , who was a year older, and with whom he then studied together. In 1767, at the age of 20, he went back to Kyoto and attended the school of Ike no Taiga , who then influenced him more than any other painter. In 1797 he went back to Wakayama to work for the princes of Kii .

His copy of a scroll with the title " Stone cliffs between heaven and earth" ( 天地 石壁 図 , Tenchi sekiheki-zu) by Huang Gongwang ( Chinese  黄 公 望 ; 1269-1354), which is kept in the Senju-in monastery in Tōnomine, is famous.

With Sō Aiseki ( 僧 愛 石 ) and Nagamachi Chikuseki ( 長 町 竹石 ) he was one of the "Three Seki" ( 三 石 Sanseki ) of early Nanga painting. - Kaiseki is also known for his depictions of painting, the Shihekisai-gawa.
