fun fact:
The pine and bamboo are defined by ink wash, but the flowers take form through color within contour lines.
digital description:
White camellias bloom behind a large pine in the right screen and blue morning glories creep through bamboo in the left screen of this composition. The mountains and bridge suggest a continuous landscape, but the paintings actually juxtapose flowers of winter and summer, with time progressing from right to left. Kaihō Yūshō painted similar landscapes for Zen temples in Kyoto.
wall description:
Kaihō Yūshō is considered one of the three individualist master painters of the Momoyama era. He executed numerous byōbu and fusama-e (sliding door panel paintings) for Kyoto's most prestigious Zen monasteries. These byōbu are noteworthy for their joining of patently Chinese subject matter (the aged pine) with Japanese imagery (morning glory) and themes (the seasons and human travel) in one composition.
