Landscape, c. 1414. Creator: Unknown
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

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing landscape from the year 1414, created by an unknown artist. Inspired by the works of Zen clerics during the Muromachi period, this composition beautifully combines ink painting with Chinese-style poetry. The artwork is presented as a shigajiku, a hanging scroll often adorned with original poems above the painting. The verses featured in this piece are excerpts from essays on Sima Guang by Su Shi, a renowned literatus from China's Song dynasty. They offer an interpretation of the studio surrounded by bamboo as a symbolic representation of Sima's garden. Sima Guang was a scholar-official during the Song dynasty who found solace and inspiration in his garden while living in isolation during his exile in Luoyang. Rendered using ink and color on silk, this heritage art piece belongs to either Korea or Japan's Joseon period or Japan's Muromachi period. It is currently housed at The Cleveland Museum of Art where it continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and profound symbolism. Heritage Art/Heritage Images has expertly captured this extraordinary artwork through their photo print, allowing us to appreciate its intricate details and rich cultural significance. This image serves as both a visual delight and an invitation to explore the deep connections between art, poetry, nature, and history that have transcended time itself.
