Original – The full hanging scroll of the Splashed-ink Landscape ([haboku sansui] Error: {{nihongo}}: text has italic markup (help), 破墨山水) by Sesshū Tōyō, 1495, including dedicatory inscription by the artist, and six poems by Zen monks
Reason
As the earlier one appears to be going well, I thought I would try another timeless classic image of Japanese art. The Broken Ink Landscape scroll ([haboku sansui-zu] Error: {{nihongo}}: text has italic markup (help), 破墨山水図) is a splashed-ink landscape painting on a hanging scroll. It was made by the Japanese artist Sesshū Tōyō in 1495, in the Muromachi period. The ink wash painting is a National Treasure of Japan and is held by the Tokyo National Museum.
