EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Zen Encounter (Niaoke Daolin and Bai Juyi), 16th century" takes us back in time to the Muromachi period in Japan. Created by the talented Kenko Shokei, this hanging scroll showcases his mastery of ink on paper. In this serene scene, we see two men seated underneath a majestic tree, immersed in deep conversation. The man on the left is Niaoke Daolin, a prominent figure in Zen Buddhism, while the man on the right is Bai Juyi, a renowned poet from China. Their tranquil expressions suggest an intense exchange of thoughts and ideas. The composition exudes a sense of harmony between nature and humanity. The intricate details of plants surrounding them symbolize their connection with the natural world and their spiritual journey within it. As they sit beneath the tree's protective branches, one can almost feel a profound tranquility emanating from this ancient encounter. Kenko Shokei's artistic skill shines through in every brushstroke, capturing not only physical likeness but also inner emotions. This remarkable piece invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as religion, literature, and human connection across cultures and centuries. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of its heritage art collection, this photograph print serves as a testament to Kenko Shokei's contribution to Japanese art history during the 16th century. It reminds us that even today we can find inspiration in these timeless encounters between great minds.
