BOKUSHO SHUSHO. Splashed-Ink Landscape

Splashed-Ink Landscape. Artist: Bokusho Shusho (Japanese, active late 15th-early 16th century). Culture: Japan. Dimensions: Image: 31 1/2 × 13 3/8 in. (80 × 33.9 cm)
Overall with mounting: 59 13/16 × 14 3/16 in. (152 × 36 cm)
Overall with knobs: 59 13/16 × 16 1/16 in. (152 × 40.8 cm). Date: early 16th century.
This evocative painting by Bokusho is a variation on a celebrated landscape in the haboku (splashed-ink) technique by the great master Sesshu Toyo (1420-1506), which is now in the Tokyo National Museum. The technique, in which dark ink is applied rapidly over still-wet, light washes to create a soft, diffused effect, with neither well-defined contour lines nor explicit details, evokes an intuitive and contemplative mindset associated with Zen Buddhist spiritual practice. The artist Bokusho, a high-ranking Rinzai Zen monk, also achieved renown in literary circles in Kyoto and later moved to western Honshu, where he befriended the famed ink painter Sesshu.
The abbreviated, mist-laden scene is also reminiscent of the work of the thirteenth-century Chinese artist Yujian, whose ink landscape paintings were much admired in Japan.
