Landscape 15th-early 16th century Attributed to Sami This freely-executed ink landscape painting, rendered in soft, washy brush strokes and light wash to produce a misty, moisture-laden atmosphere, depicts a hillside sloping towards a body of water and a small figure walking along a path in the direction of a distant stand of trees. Several willows grow near the water’s edge, on a low promontory. Two boats are visible along the grassy shoreline, one of which is being poled away from shore by a solitary boatman. Sami was one of the most important artists of late fifteenth-early sixteenth century Japan. One of the three influential “Ami school” painters—the other two were Nami (1397-1471) and Geiami (1431-1485)—he served as art connoisseur and consultant to the Ashikaga shoguns and was familiar with the works of art they imported from China. His own painting style was inspired by the soft, misty brush technique associated with the Song-dynasty Chinese Chan (Zen) monk-painter Muqi Fach
