Eight Views of the Xiao and Xiang Rivers, which first developed as poetic themes in 11th-century China, later became one of the favorite subjects in Japanese ink painting because it allows for so many aspects of a landscape to be treated in one work. This is especially evident in the pair of folding screens seen here. On the far right is \u201cAutumn Moon over Dongting,\u201d exemplified by the small sphere rising just above the mountains in the distance. At the left edge of the same screen, \u201cNight Rain on the Xiao and Xiang\u201d is given expression as streaks of ink wash through which a lone boat makes its way across the river. The artist\u2019s combination of lively ink brushwork with golden clouds fuses both Chinese and Japanese sensibilities.<\/p>\n
A native of Kyoto, Yamaguchi Sekkei studied Chinese paintings as an apprentice in a Kano-school studio and continued to do so in earnest after becoming independent. His loyalty to the style of previous ages garnered him great praise from his contemporaries.<\/p>\n","short_description":null,"dimensions":"Each: 170.2 \u00d7 381 cm (67 1\/16 \u00d7 150 in.)","dimensions_detail":[{"depth":null,"width":381,"height":170,"diameter":null,"clarification":"Each"}],"medium_display":"Pair of six-panel screens; ink and gold on paper","inscriptions":null,"credit_line":"Gift of Leo S.
