		He commissioned Josetsu to do a "small single-leaf screen in the new style." And it was placed near his throne of public audience to remind him of the difficulty of being a judge.
		Josetsu is credited with being the founder, or maybe we should say fountainhead of the monochrome painting in Japan.
		Except in rare cases, like the Josetsu piece we have just seen, screens were created in pairs and usually of multiple sections, since it was their folds that allowed them to stand up.

		Josetsu is one of the few artists who occupy an important position in Japanese art history but whose lives are virtually unknown.
		In an old document Gaun-nikken-roku is found an article regarding Josetsu in connection with the building of the monument of Muso Kokushi, which is thought to have been projected between the twenty-first and fifth year of Oei (1414-1418).
		The artist is described as Josetsu in the eulogistic note accompanying the painting but the present writer desires to leave the point of the originality of this work by Josetsu for further study in the future.

	A Mysterious Painting, Josetsu's Catching a Catfish with a Gourd
		Fortunately, along with the poems at the top of the painting is an introduction that tells us that this work is based on the topic "How do you catch a catfish with a gourd?" The person who came up with this theme was the 4th Shogun of the Muromachi Period, Ashikaga Yoshimochi (1386-1428).
		Though they must have enjoyed it, Josetsu and the other priests went about their work with a sense of purpose.
		First of all Josetsu emphasized the "slippery" theme in the painting by giving curved lines to the catfish, the gourd, the bamboo, the flow of the river, and the riverbank.

	JOSETSU (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Josetsu, or Sesshu, was a Buddhist monk and founder of a school which produced some of Japan's best painters.
		Josetsu became one of the greatest masters of ink painting and in 1466 he began to call himself Sesshu which means 'Snow Boat'.
		His style contained bold but graceful brushstrokes that seem to have been applied without effort, yet fall perfectly into place.

	JAANUS / shigajiku 詩画軸
		In Japan, shigajiku developed in the cultural atmosphere of the Five Mountain Temples (gozan 五山) associated with Zen 禅 Buddhism in Kyoto during the Kamakura period.
		A famous example is the scroll "Catching a Catfish with a Gourd" (Hyounen-zu 瓢鮎図) in the Taizouin 退蔵院 (a sub-temple of Myoushinji 妙心寺, Kyoto) by the Zen priest Josetsu 如拙(fl.
		There are many such extant paintings from the early Muromachi period that have literary inscriptions by Zen priests, many attributed to Shuubun 周文 (fl.

		A brief entry dated 1448 in the diary of the Onryoken, a subtemple of Shokokuji in Kyoto, mentions that in around 1416 Shogun Ashikaga Yoshimochi consulted with Josetsu about going to the island of Shikoku in search of stone for the carving of a stele in commemoration of Shokokuji’s founder, Muso Soseki.
		The entry makes no mention of Josetsu as a painter, but it suggests his acquaintance with Yoshimochi and an association with Shokokuji, which was an important centre in the development of ink painting in the Muromachi period (1333–1568) (see JAPAN, §VI, 4(iii)).

		Kyoto National Museum To April 7: "Sesshu: Master of Ink and Brush." Almost 80 ink paintings by Sesshu Toyo, a painter and priest of the Muromachi period (1338-1573), known as the "genius of ink painting." The show also features lesser-known paintings, which come from Sesshu's formative period.
		In addition are a number of paintings by his teachers Josetsu and Shubun, aspiring rivals such as Bokkei and Gakuo, and his students, Shugetsu, Soen and Toshun.
		To May 26: "The Mystery of the Young Rembrandt." During the early years in Leiden (1625-1631), Rembrandt constantly explored new artistic avenues, which were quickly imitated by pupils and which led to the problems of attribution that have plagued Rembrandt's work in recent years.

		Bulldozers, snow blowers, and dump trucks cruise the streets, collecting and then carting off the frozen H20 compound as if it were garbage.
		I haven't been able to convince them to come do my sidewalk yet, though, so there's plenty of josetsu (snow shoveling) left to keep me healthy.
		It rips me up to think that while I'm doing josetsu (snow shoveling) some 30,000 Japanese per year are doing jisatsu (suicide).

		In the same catalogue Sherman E. Lee discusses the art of the period and comments on some 50 paintings, sculptures, masks, metalwork objects, lacquer, and ceramics.

Rosenfield on Josetsu's picture of "The Three Creeds" (Buddhism, Taoism, and Confucianism), see John W. Hall and Toyoda Takeshi, eds., Japan in the Muromachi Age (Berkeley: University of California Press, 1977).
		Akiyoshi Watanabe, Of Water and Ink (Detroit: Detroit Institute of Arts, 1986) is an exhibition catalogue of 81 works, with an introductory essay discussing the influence of Chinese painting on Japanese artists of the period, and with some emphasis on Sesshu and his followers.

		The inscription within the painting is by Priest Taigaku Shusu; that written above is by Priest Isho Tokugan and is dated 1403.
		These two inscriptions prove that the picture was made by Josetsu, was used as a fan by Shusu, and was mounted as a hanging scroll by Shusu's student, Priest Shikyo.
		This fan, with its simplified contour lines, is an excellent example of the genpitsu style of ink painting, modeled after Chinese master Liang Kai.

	Kiyoshi AWAZU
		Impressed by Herbert Beyer's lecture and influenced by the general theme of the conference, "From Graphic Design to Visual Communication", Awazu's design activities became grounded in visual design and visual communication during the first half of the 1960's.
		Six architects, Takashi Asada, Masato Otaka, Fumihiko Maki, Kiyonori Kikutake, Kisho Kurokawa and Noboru Kawazoe, used the biology term "metabolism" to conceptualize their works.
		This article, in which Awazu relentlessly discussed his visual-linguistic experiences, established a foundation for his later paper "shikaku dentatsu josetsu" (Introduction to Visual Communication).

		Masterpieces of Chinese Ch'an (Zen) art by such monks as Ch'an-yueh, Liang K'ai, Yu Chien, Mu Ch'i, Chi-weng, Yin-t'o-lo and I-shan 1-ning were enthusiastically imported to Japan during the twelfth and thirteenth centuries and a number of native artists, for example Kao Sonen and Mokuan Reiun, studied on the mainland.
		Building on that base, Japanese monks such as Josetsu, Shubun, and somewhat later Sesshu Toyo and Ikkyu Sojun produced splendid examples of classical Zen art; eventually Zenga became one of the most important Japanese art forms, appreciated the world over for its originality and distinctive flavor.
		Early Zen in Japan was a religion for cultured aristocrats and powerful fords but by the fifteenth century Zen priests and nuns became actively concerned with the welfare of common folk.
