Konichiwa my fellow painters. This week's post is about an Eastern Asia ink painter hailing from Japan, Tensho Shubun (1418-1463).
Tensho Shubun was a Japanese Zen Buddhist monk and ink painter of the Maromochi period. Tensho was know for principally for his monochromatic Suibokuga ink painting, modeled after Southern Song Chinese painting. His other duties also included Buddhist iconic painting and sculptures. Tensho's most well known painting is Reading in a Bamboo Grove. He is considered to be the founder of Suibokuga ink painting. Tensho is also well known for the illustration and stylistic distinctive ink landscape painting school. The second painting shown is Landscape of the Four Seasons.
Till next week,
