This small but select exhibition includes five suiboku (monochrome) paintings: one painting by Kano Motonobu and four paintings of the Sotatsu school.
In addition to the group of ink paintings, the exhibition will include a selection of lacquer and ceramic objects to complement the studied mood of the show, including an 18th century lacquer ink stone box (suzuribako) with a decoration of a rooster under a crescent moon.
This painting tradition is rooted in Chinese ink paintings, exemplified by a painting from the exhibition: Kano Motonobu’s laughing Hotei was done after a painting of the same subject by the Chinese master monk painter Mu-ch’i (Mokkei in Japanese).

The Kano traced their lineage back to Kano Motonobu (also called Ko-Hôgen) at the end of the Fifteenth Century.
The school was based in Kyoto, but in 1617 Kano Tan'yû (1602-74) - a child prodigy and claimed as the reincarnation of Eitoku - moved it up to Edo.
Tan'yû's first son Tanshin lived until 1718, but being school-based, the Kano were more important as a group than as individuals, and the personal styles of masters are often difficult to detect.

Its most famous garden is a dry landscape attributed to the painter Kano Motonobu (1475 1559), a resident of the monastery.
Understated and difficult to appreciate in photographs, its dry stream bed and associated rocks and plantings are thoroughly in the spirit if not the actual composition of Muromachi landscape painting, a tradition closely associated with this and other Rinzai Zen monasteries in Kyoto.
In its basic elements it is a larger, "wet" version of the dry garden attributed to Kano Motonobu.

The Kano school painters, in particular, are noted as the most prolific exponents of this theme, and their popularity reached a high point in the early seventeenth century.
The Kano atelier produced many hundreds of paintings in various formats for private and institutional clients, guided by the work ethic, management skills, and academic painting style of Kano Motonobu (1476-1559).
Those byøbu, traditionally attributed to his son Kano Shøei, show Motonobu's legacy of distinctive "nailhead" brushstrokes (in the depiction of robing), spiky and elongated plant forms, and crystal-line rock formations.

Works by Motonobu in the Yamatoe style, such as the set of handscrolls Seiryoji engi (‘Origins of Seiryoji’, 1515; Kyoto, Seiryoji), show his mastery of its conventions.
By the age of nine Motonobu had begun to serve the retired shogun Ashikaga Yoshimasa (1436–90), one of his father’s main patrons, and he subsequently painted for Yoshimasa’s successors, Ashikaga Yoshitane (1465–1522), Yoshizumi (1478–1511) and Yoshiharu (1511–50).
He worked for other members of the military élite, such as Hosokawa Takakuni (1484–1531), who commissioned him in 1513 to paint a set of narrative handscrolls, Kuramadera engi (‘Origins of Kurama temple’; untraced), and his clientele also extended to the imperial court and the merchant class of Kyoto and Sakai.

 Terukazi - Chapter 7: The Golden Age of Mural Painting (16th and 17th Centuries)
Son a nobleman of the province of Omi, Kaiho Yusho (I533-I6I5) was still a child when he became a novice at the Tofuku--ji, one of the most important Zen monasteries of Kyoto; thanks to this circumstance, he escaped the fate of his family, which was ruthlessly exterminated in the attack of Oda Nobunaga in I573.
It was said, however, that all his life he felt remorse at having "fallen to the rank of an artist" and never ceased to practise hurling and thrusting the spear and to seek the company of military men and the great Zen monks.
The leadership of the main Kano school, attached now to the Tokugawa family, changed hands and Eitoku's three grandsons (the sons of Takanobu), Tannyu (I602-I674), Naonobu (I607-I650) and Yasunobu (I6I3-I685), took charge of the studio, which became the official academy of the new shogunate of Edo (Tokyo).

Later Shoei accompanied Motonobu in decorating the walls of the Zuihoin, a subtemple of the Daitokuji in Kyoto built by the daimyo Otomo Sorin (1530–87).
On his father’s death in 1559 Shoei succeeded as head of the Kano school, presumably after the early deaths of his two elder brothers, Kano Yusetsu Munenobu (1514–?1545) and Kano ?Joshin.

The paintings were rescued from a fire that destroyed the castle around 1635.
Modern expectations of traditional Japanese aesthetics are confounded by an important pair of six-panel screens by Kano Motonobu (1476–1559) that display a series of discrete ink monochrome landscape scenes set within a lush background of colored landscape and cloud-patterned gold leaf.
This combination of austerity and flamboyance reveals a dimension of sixteenth-century Japanese taste that has yet to be thoroughly explored.
