Aoyama San'u (1912-1993) was a master of Chinese and Japanese calligraphy, a dedicated collector, and an educator of calligraphers and connoisseurs. He taught at Daito Bunka University and also took on private pupils. For thirty-seven years beginning in 1956, he published a monthly periodical, Kindai shodo gurafu, that greatly contributed to the popularization of Chinese and Japanese calligraphy in the postwar period.

Aoyama San'u was close friends with many Chinese calligraphy and painting masters and has a collection of over 1000 pieces of calligraphy and paintings. Today we are pleased to present a collection of Chinese paintings from Aoyama San'u's collection, brought to us by a private collector in New York.
