与謝蕪村 Yosa Buson (1716-1784)
Haiku poet and painter of the mid-Edo period. Yosa Buson is famous as one of the three great masters of haikai (Haiku poets) in the Edo period, along with 松尾芭蕉 Matsuo Basho (1644-1694) and 小林一茶 Kobayashi Issa (1763-1828). Born into a farming family, he lost his parents when he was a teenager and set out for Edo (now Tokyo) at the age of 20. In Edo, he learned haikai from 早野巴人 Hayano Hajin (1676-1742). After his master's death, he traveled around Kanto and Oshu, and then moved to Kyoto. His haikai style is full of realism, romance, and lyricism, and he became a central figure in the haikai circles of the middle age. He is also an excellent painter, and along with 池大雅 Ike no Taiga (1723-1776), is considered a great master of literati painting.
with signature 'Suichuusha Shachoko' 酔中寫 謝長康 and seal 'Choko' 長康 'Shunsei' 春星
Yosa Buson (1716–1784), one of the three great masters of haikai alongside Matsuo Basho and Kobayashi Issa, was also a leading painter of the literati tradition in the mid-Edo period. This two-panel folding screen bears his signature “Suichūsha Shachōkō” (酔中寫 謝長康) and seals “Chōkō” and “Shunsei”, revealing that it was painted in a moment of drunken inspiration, when the brush moves freely, unbound by intention. Executed in fluid suiboku ink and mounted upon a gold-leaf folding screen, the landscape quietly unfolds with distant mountains, humble dwellings, and a solitary traveler carrying his worldly possessions. The luminous gold ground does not overwhelm the image but gently receives the ink, allowing light and shadow to breathe together across the surface. When placed within a calm interior, the screen subtly transforms the space, inviting the viewer into a state of stillness where poetry and painting merge, and where each passing day deepens the pleasure of living alongside a work born from Buson’s most instinctive and lyrical hand.
