*''Japanese'': 俵 喜左衛門 ''(Tawara Kizaemon)''

Tawara Kizaemon was a [[Kano school|Kanô school]] painter in service to [[Tsushima han|Tsushima domain]]. In [[1711]], he headed a team that produced a set of scrolls depicting that year's [[Korean embassies to Edo|Korean embassy to Edo]] in procession.

Kizaemon became a ''goyô eshi'' (court painter) in service to the [[So clan|Sô clan]] of Tsushima in [[1695]]. Over the following decade, he spent time in [[Edo]], Tsushima, and Korea. In [[1707]], he was granted permission by the domain to take time off from his service to study painting under [[Kano Tsunenobu|Kanô Tsunenobu]] for three years; he remained with Tsunenobu until 1711/2, before returning to Tsushima's service.

Borrowing a set of [[1710]] scrolls from the [[Shimazu clan]] depicting that year's [[Ryukyuan embassy to Edo]] to use as models, Tawara headed a team of some forty painters to produce scrolls depicting the 1711 Korean embassy in procession along the road, up to and down from [[Edo castle]], entering and departing from Edo, and on riverboats along the [[Yodo River]], among other contexts.
