Mountain Landscape 1761 - 1763

Soga Shōhaku's "Mountain Landscape" (1761-1763) is a captivating hanging scroll that showcases the artist's mastery of the *sumi-e* ink painting technique. The artwork depicts a serene landscape with mist-shrouded mountains and a winding river. The artist's use of washes and subtle brushstrokes creates a sense of depth and atmosphere, characteristic of *bunjinga* style. This scroll, now in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to Shōhaku's enduring influence on Japanese art.
