A cerejeira antiga

Kano Sansetsu Japanese
1646
Not on view
Mesmo a cerejeira mais antiga gera brotos verdes na primavera, e por isso a árvore é um símbolo de força e rejuvenescimento. Estas portas corrediças separavam por duas salas da residência de um abade em Tenshō’in, um subtemplo de Myoshinji, famoso templo Zen em Quioto. A curvatura exagerada da árvore e a nitidez dos traços das rochas geométricas são idiossincrasias associadas às obras assinadas por Kano Sansetsu, discípulo e genro do pintor Kano Sanraku (1559–1635). Sanraku desfrutava do patrocínio generoso do templo Myoshinji, o que seguramente se estendeu a Sansetsu.
