Landscape, mid-1500s. Creator: Kano Motonobu (Japanese, c. 1476-1559)
Landscape, mid-1500s. The large red tripod-shaped seal on this painting is that of Kano Motonobu, head of the Kano school atelier in Kyoto that served the shogun. Gesshu Jukei, a longtime resident of the Zen temple Kenninji in Kyoto, inscribed the poem. The two are known to have worked together on at least one other occasion. The poem describes an intimate meeting of dear friends, a suitable theme for a work that was likely given as a gift to an esteemed associate, perhaps weary of the politics of life in the capital. In either fine weather or during the rainy season the mountains colour is pale. A friend visits, rowing his boat while reciting a poem. Tonight we ll drink together at the inn on the river. Across, on the other side of the river is a house with people living in it, but there is nothing to drink there

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning landscape from the mid-1500s, created by the talented Japanese artist Kano Motonobu. The large red tripod-shaped seal on the painting signifies Motonobu's authorship and his position as the head of the prestigious Kano school atelier in Kyoto, which served the shogun. The accompanying poem inscribed by Gesshu Jukei, a resident of Kenninji Zen temple in Kyoto, adds an intimate touch to this artwork. It describes a heartwarming encounter between dear friends seeking solace away from the political turmoil of city life. Whether it be under clear skies or during rainy seasons when mountains lose their vibrant hues, a friend arrives rowing his boat while reciting poetry. The verse concludes with anticipation for an evening spent together at an inn along the riverbank. This piece is likely to have been gifted to an esteemed associate who may have grown weary of capital politics. Its theme resonates with those seeking respite and camaraderie amidst nature's beauty. Interestingly, Kano Motonobu and Gesshu Jukei are known to have collaborated on another occasion as well. Displayed as a hanging scroll, this heritage art exemplifies ink-on-paper technique prevalent during Japan's Muromachi period (1392-1573). Preserved within The Cleveland Museum of Art collection, this photograph print by Heritage Art/Heritage Images transports viewers into a serene world where friendship and tranquility reign supreme over material possessions or societal obligations.
