Birds and Flowers of the Four Seasons
- Exhibition information
- There are currently no plans to exhibit this artwork at the TNM Collection Exhibitions.
Nearly life-size plants and animals fill the composition, some bursting beyond its borders. This vitality contrasts with a hazy atmosphere that pervades the painting. The overall style is close to that of Sesshū, a Zen monk who studied painting in China and influenced generations of painters in Japan.
