**Originally Listed At $300**
East Asia, Japan, ca. 18th century CE. A painting of one of the Thirty-Six Immortals of Poetry - a beloved group of Japanese poets who lived during the Asuka, Nara, and Heian periods and were chosen by Fujiwara no Kinto (996-1075) - a reputable scholar, nobleman, and poet of the Heian period - for their remarkable talents. Ensembles of these portraits were oftentimes displayed in temples. From about the 11th century on, poetry as well as painting contests were a source of entertainment at social gatherings. This poet is portrayed in a dignified manner to reflect his aristocratic rank, donning black and white and seated in a cross legged position. Set in a custom mat and frame under glass. Size: 8" L x 7.125" W (20.3 cm x 18.1 cm); 12.875" L x 12" W (32.7 cm x 30.5 cm) framed
The oldest collection of the 36 poets' works is a collection of illuminated manuscript codeces known as "Nishi Honganji Sanju-rokunin Kashu" dating to 1112. Similar ensembles of Japanese poets include the Kamakura period Nyobo Sanjurokkasen and the Chuko Sanjurokkasen or Thirty-Six Heian-era Immortals of Poetry, selected by Fujiwara no Norikane [ja] (1107–1165). This group took the place of an even older one known as the Six Immortals of Poetry.

#149036This painting has not been examined outside the frame but appears to be in good condition save expected age wear (a few minor stains and one minute loss to upper right in the background - not the figure). Possibly from a larger composition. Floats on a black fabric covered mat (perhaps linen or silk given its nubby texture and sheen) and framed under glass.Condition
