MOTSURIN JOTO (BOKUSAI). Couplet from the Chinese Poem Grasses" by Bai Juyi"

Couplet from the Chinese Poem "Grasses" by Bai Juyi. Artist: Motsurin Joto (Bokusai) (Japanese, died 1491). Culture: Japan. Dimensions: Image: 46 3/4 × 10 3/8 in. (118.8 × 26.4 cm)
Overall with mounting: 74 11/16 × 10 15/16 in. (189.7 × 27.8 cm)
Overall with knobs: 74 11/16 × 12 1/2 in. (189.7 × 31.8 cm). Date: 15th century.
A scroll with boldly inscribed Chinese characters by or attributed to a prominent Zen monk such as Motsurin Joto would have been used for display in an alcove during a tea ceremony. Motsurin Joto, or Bokusai, was a close disciple of the famous Zen monk Ikkyu (1394-1481) of Daitokuji. Because of this close connection, Motsurin's briskly brushed calligraphy closely resembles that of his master.
Here he has brushed a couplet by the Tang poet Bai Juyi (772-846):
Wild grasses spread out
far across the plains.
Each year they wither,
only to flourish again.
--Trans. John T. Carpenter.
