Summary:

SESSHU'S LONG SCROLL is the masterwork of the 15th-century artistwhom Japan honors as her greatest. Famed not only as a painter but also as a Zenpriest and a great traveler, Sesshu found inspiration for his wonderful landscapes both in China and Japan. This magnificent scroll, which pictures the procession of the seasons, is essentially religious painting with a strong atmosphere of Zen Buddhism. Nature, rather than man, is dominant, although the human touch ischarmingly evident from time to time. One can take this fascinating Zen landscapejourney again and again, and always find new delights.
