Retrato de Shun'oku Myōha

ca. 1383
Not on view
Ejecutado para un templo de Kioto, este retrato oficial representa a Shun’oku Myōha (1311–1388), una eminente figura del budismo Zen, y ostenta una inscripción de puño y letra del retratado. Pertenece a una tipología, originada en China, que se asocia con los funerales y el recuerdo de los difuntos. Los retratos de los maestros Zen pintados en el Japón en el mismo estilo servían no solo para ceremonias conmemorativas sino para certificar que las enseñanzas budistas (dharma) habían sido eficazmente transmitidas por los maestros a sus discípulos. La imagen posee gran fuerza expresiva, obtenida gracias al experto manejo de la tinta y el pincel y a la aplicación de los diversos colores que definen cada detalle de la vestimenta y el rostro.
