Winter and Summer Flowers, c. 1600. Kaihō Yūshō (Japanese, 1533-1615). Pair of six-panel folding screens; ink, color, and gold on paper; overall: 174 x 376 cm (68 1/2 x 148 1/16 in.). White camellias bloom behind a large pine in the right screen and blue morning glories creep through bamboo in the left screen of this composition. The mountains and bridge suggest a continuous landscape, but the paintings actually juxtapose flowers of winter and summer, with time progressing from right to left. Kaih? Y?sh? painted similar landscapes for Zen temples in Kyoto.
