About the piece

Created by the Edo-period master Yosa Buson around 1775, this landscape exemplifies the Nanga (literati) school's emphasis on poetic atmosphere over literal representation. Delicate, calligraphic brushwork depicts rugged mountains emerging from a sea of mist, while a small hut and lone figures emphasize a harmonious relationship with nature in a tranquil, timeless setting.
