THE ARTISTS

HAKUIN EKAKU (1685–1768). Considered the most important Zen master of the past five hundred years, Hakuin was also the leading Zen painter, creating a large number of works with power, humor, and Zen intensity.

IKE TAIGA (1723–76). One of the great literati painters of Japan, Taiga was unusual in that he displayed his art fully at a youthful age, creating delightful transformations of the scholar-artist landscape painting tradition.

KI BAITEI (1734–1810). One of the major pupils of poet-painter Buson, Baitei (also known as Kyūrō) lived in Shiga Prefecture and created both landscapes and humorous figure studies.

MARUYAMA ŌKYO (1733–95). By creating a style that combined naturalism with influences from China and the West, Ōkyo became founder of the popular Maruyama school of painting.

MATSUYA JICHŌSAI (active 1781–88, died 1803?). Also known as Nichōsai, he was a sake brewer and antique dealer in Osaka who dabbled in poetry, painting, and singing. His humorous paintings have a caricature style all their own.

SESSON SHŪKEI (1504?–1589?). One of the major ink-painters of the late medieval period in Japan, Sesson was known for his strong compositions and bold brushwork.

TACHIBANA MORIKUNI (1679–1748). Born in Osaka, Morikuni studied the official style of the Kanō school, but was expelled because in one of his books he published designs that were considered secrets in the Kanō tradition.

YAMAGUCHI SOKEN (1759–1818). A pupil of the naturalistic master Ōkyo, Soken was especially gifted in his depictions of figure subjects.
