In the Ohgenkan and the Ohjoin, edifices of the Myohoin temple at Kyoto, there remain 58 fusumas (paper-panels for sliding-door) with paintings on the gilded paper which are thought to be painted by some Kano-school painters during the Momoyama period. This paper treats of a group of fusumas, representing big pine trees, in 3 rooms of the Ohgenkan. Its author has been traditionally considered to be KANO, Eitoku. This picture with big pine trees, however, suffers a lot of abrasions on the surface, lacks some original parts and has later additions. And even the order of fusumas is not an original one. Therefore, at first, I reconstruct not only the original state of this picture but also the order of fusumas. Through this reconstruction, for the first time it becomes possible to discuss precisely on the attribution and the dating of this picture. The reconstructed picture shows us that in this picture is adopted the formula which was established by KANO, Eitoku through his works, such as "Flowers and Birds" (the Hojyo of the Jukoin temple), the "Japanese Cypress" picture on folding-screen, (Tokyo National Museum Collection). Comparing these authentic Eitoku's works with the above mentioned "Pine Trees" picture, between them are recognized some differences in details of rocks, lives and tree-truncs. And also clearly in the spatial role of golden background and in the spatial composition. The latter lacks the liveliness and inventiveness, and shows a manneristic crudeness : typical characters of the followers. Judging from these observations, it will be reasonable to say that the author of this picture is not KANO, Eitoku. And now I would like to attribute it to KANO, Soshu, Eitoku's brother. If my inference were right, he could be considered to be an intermediator between Eitoku and following generations and this picture to be executed at the end of the 16th century.
