According to tradition, this image of mist-shrouded bamboo was created by Ka?, a fourteenth-century monk who was among the earliest Japanese practitioners of Chinese-inspired monochrome ink painting. Despite the attribution, it is likely sixteenth century in date. Graded ink tonalities and delicate rendering of joints in the stalk indicate that the artist was well-trained in Chinese methods of ink
