Both works are so excellent that even Chao Meng-fu himself would certainly applaud if he should be reborn to see them.  I, Shih-mou, had gotten possession of this scroll from the family of Chou Y\u00fc-sh\u00fcn, and since it was so wonderfully matched with one of the treasures in my collection. the Hridaya Sutra written by Chao Meng-fu for Priest Li in \"running script,\" like the reuniting of two halves of a jade pi, I completed the scroll with the several colophons written for the \"tea-exchange\" poem.  I did this because the painting of Ch'iu Ying and the calligraphy of Wen Cheng-ming are definitely masterpieces by themselves with absolutely no need to depend on any of the colophons written for the Chao Meng-fu poem.  Furthermore, the two sons of Wen Cheng-ming, Shou-ch'eng [Wen P'eng] and Hsiu-ch'eng [Wen Chia]. have each written a colophon explaining the reason for replacing the calligraphy.  As their writings are both acceptable for high standard, I didn't want to throw them away.  [So by separating these into two scrolls] I was able to get two complete works of art in one clever stroke.  I was quite pleased with myself, and hope that those who see this scroll shall not get suspicious because of the missing colophons.\n\nWang Shih-mou wrote in his Jih-sun-chai study, on the first day of the tenth month, in the chia-shen year of the Wan-li era [1584].\n\n(translated by Wai-Kam Ho)", "inscription_translation": null, "inscription_remark": null, "sortorder": 2}, {"inscription": "Colophon by Wen P'eng:\nI-shao [Wang Hsi-chi] wrote in exchange for a flock of geese.

Yagi Akira graduated from Kyoto Seika College in 1976 and Kyoto Prefectural Ceramics Technical Institute in 1977. Specializing in the delicate bluish-white glaze (seihakuji) and a dark iron-black glaze, Yagi Akira is known for his precise mastery of wheel-thrown, glazed ceramics. In the 1980s, he began exploring structure by creating nesting sets of bowls and boxes.
