Screech examines how Sadanobu mobilized painting as a political instrument, promoting established academic styles and sponsoring the revival of historical and literary painting as a counterweight to the ukiyo-e tradition he opposed. The reconstruction of Kyoto after the great fire of 1788 provided the occasion for a sweeping reassertion of the shogunate's visual authority.
