Splashed-Ink Landscape early 16th century Bokush Shsh This evocative painting by Bokush is a variation on a celebrated landscape in the haboku (splashed-ink) technique by the great master Sessh Ty (1420-1506), which is now in the Tokyo National Museum. The technique, in which dark ink is applied rapidly over stillwet, light washes to create a soft, diffused effect, with neither welldefined contour lines nor explicit details, evokes an intuitive and contemplative mindset associated with Zen Buddhist spiritual practice. The artist Bokush, a highranking Rinzai Zen monk, also achieved renown in literary circles in Kyoto and later moved to western Honsh, where he befriended the famed ink painter Sessh.The abbreviated, mist-laden scene is also reminiscent of the work of the thirteenth-century Chinese artist Yujian, whose ink landscape paintings were much admired in Japan..
