El viejo ciruelo

Kano Sansetsu Japanese
1646
Not on view
Incluso a los ciruelos más viejos les salen brotes verdes en primavera; por eso, el ciruelo es símbolo de fortaleza y rejuvenecimiento. Estas puertas corredizas separaban dos estancias de la residencia de un abad en Tenshō’in, subtemplo del Myōshinji, famoso templo Zen en Kioto. La exagerada curvatura del árbol y el incisivo trazado de las rocas geométricas son rasgos distintivos de las obras firmadas por Kano Sansetsu, discípulo y yerno del pintor Kano Sanraku (1559–1635). Sanraku, y seguramente también Sansetsu, disfrutaban del generoso mecenazgo del templo Myōshinji.
