Japan: 'Geese and Reeds'. Hanging scroll painting by an unidentified artist in the style of Tesshu Tokusai (-1366), late 14th century. Tesshu Tokusai (-1366) was a Japanese artist living during the Nanbokucho Period. Tokusai was a Zen monk and an accomplished poet as well as a painter, and took extended trips to the Chinese mainland in the 1330s where he would become highly influenced by the ink paintings of Yuan Dynasty Chinese painters. He took these influences back to Japan and introduced them to other Zen monks.
