Portrait of Keinan Eibun 1449 Japan This image of a seated monk is an example of chinsō, a genre of naturalistic portraiture reserved for high-ranking Zen Buddhist monks or abbots. Subjects were typically shown seated in a carved lacquer chair and wearing official robes, including the elaborate kesa, or masters vestment; the details of their facial features were carefully reproduced. Chinsō portraits were precious artifacts of the master-disciple relationship central to Zen, and may also have been used in Buddhist ceremonies. Keinan Eibun (1365-1454) was at one time abbot of the Nanzenji Temple in Kyoto, and his inscriptions appear on several extant hanging scrolls, including on a posthumous portrait of the shogun Ashikaga Yoshinori (1394-1441). Here he is depicted at the age of seventy-nine.. Portrait of Keinan Eibun 78157
