A chart of satake yoshiatsu's corpus mapped not by date but by subject. Spokes are what they painted; rings are when; and the threads between stars reveal the patrons and places that secretly connect them.

Coloured lines link works bound by the same patron, commission, or theme. Trace a context to watch related clusters light up across subjects.
