In so doing, I will consider the function of these images to construct a new collective identity for some intellectual and cultural groups in Tokugawa society.

Koyo and Chikuto were prolific theorists who, in their treatises, theorized that the proper study of painting began with copying Chinese models in order to gain the technical discipline necessary for the development of an individual style. For literari painters, the practice of copying the particular style of earlier masters was an intellectual activity that prominently displayed their knowledge of history. Re-evaluation of "funpon" (study sketch, copybook, pictorial model, etc.) is another way to shed new light on the historical significance of copying. These literari painting theories, however, are filled with intriguing complexity and irony that is frequently contradicted by the practice of tghe painters themselves.
