少林寺

1817

Okada Beisanjin, a master of the Japanese Nanga style, created this serene landscape in 1817, depicting a scene associated with Shōrinji Temple. Towering, misty mountains rise dramatically behind tall, slender trees, framing a scholar who sits peacefully on a rocky platform by a stream. Small cottages nestle into the hillside, and attendants stand nearby, suggesting a life of quiet contemplation. The calligraphy in the corner reveals his pen name 'Huangshan Ren' (Person of Yellow Mountain), a fun nod to his deep admiration for Chinese culture despite being a Japanese artist.
