Caption
Landscape, c. 1414. This composition was fashioned after works created by Zen clerics of the Muromachi period (1392-1573), who often added their original Chinese-style poems above an ink painting to make a hanging scroll called a shigajiku . The poems here quote from essays on Sima Guang (1019-1086) by the Chinese Song dynasty literatus Su Shi (1037-1101). They interpret the studio surrounded with bamboo as a metaphor for the garden of Sima, the Song dynasty scholar-official who, in imitation of the Tang poet Bai Juyi, enjoyed the garden in isolation during his exile in Luoyang.
