	Saian / Bird on a Snow-Covered Plum Branch / Muromachi period, early 16th century
		The Shokokuji, which was part of the Five Mountain or gozan system of temples, played an important role in the introduction of the Chinese technique of monochrome painting to Japan.
		Some of the most influential artists of the Muromachi period--including Joetsu (active early 15th century), Shubun (active 1423-1460), and Sesshu (1420-1506)--resided, at least for some period of time, at the Shokokuji, and the styles of painting developed by artists associated with this temple had a formative influence on the art of subsequent periods.
		However, the interest in immediately and intimately capturing a small slice of nature while still suggesting the inevitability of growth and change found in this painting by Saian also illustrates the continuing influence of Chinese aesthetics on the art of the Muromachi period.
