Portrait de Shun'oku Myōha

ca. 1383
Not on view
Ce portrait officiel est celui de Shun’oku Myōha (1311–1388), importante figure du bouddhisme zen. Exécuté pour un temple de Kyoto, il arbore une inscription qui reproduit les paroles du modèle. Le portrait s’inscrit dans une tradition née en Chine et associée aux funérailles et aux cérémonies du souvenir. Au Japon, le genre fut adapté à la représentation des maîtres zen, non seulement dans une visée commémorative mais aussi comme moyen d’attester la transmission des enseignements bouddhiques (dharma ) des maîtres à leurs disciples. D’une main experte, l’artiste a appliqué l’encre et les couleurs de manière complexe, et dessiné chaque détail du vêtement et du visage, produisant un portrait puissant et fascinant.
