Meeting with a Friend on an Autumn Day
Noro Kaiseki Japanese
Not on view
The artist's long inscription confirms that the precise representation of seasonal conditions was less important to him in this work than his feelings about the time of year and his relationship to the entire tradition of literati culture in China and Japan. The colophon, which was based on a poem by Shen Zhou (1427–1509), a noted Ming Chinese painter, also indicates that the work was created during the visit of a close friend named Nankai and was intended for Kōhō, a monk-painter from Echigo (now Niigata Prefecture).
Noro Kaiseki, a nanga artist who trained under Ike Taiga (1723–1776), worked in the southern province of Wakayama and published a collection of writings entitled Gadan (Chats on Paintings).
