Moving along to the right, we meet a porter carrying a box and a cloth sack on a pole over his shoulder (page 16). This porter, sometimes accompanied by fellow-laborers, is frequently seen in Sesshus landscapes. Such human figures, however, are treated as types rather than individuals. Zen art in general treats human beings as part of the natural scenery itself and with no more emphasis than, it gives to rocks, trees, or rivers. The scene directly behind the porter, showing a pagoda at the top of a steep mountain, is much more Chinese than Japanese, as is the half-circle arched bridge which we next cross (page 17) and where we meet two more Zen priests with a disciple.
