Synopsis
This accordion-bound book unfolds to create a complete gravure reproduction of the great ink-painting masterpiece by Sesshu, Japan's most honored artist.
Synopsis
SESSHU'S LONG SCROLL is the masterwork of the 15th-century artist
whom Japan honors as her greatest. Famed not only as a painter but also as a Zen
priest and a great traveler, Sesshu found inspiration for his wonderful landscapes both in China and Japan. This magnificent scroll, which pictures the procession of the seasons, is essentially religious painting with a strong atmosphere of Zen Buddhism. Nature, rather than man, is dominant, although the human touch is
charmingly evident from time to time. One can take this fascinating Zen landscape
journey again and again, and always find new delights.
