"Brewing Tea in the Shade of Trees" (1820s) by Aoki Mokubei (1767-1833) is a hanging scroll painting that depicts a tranquil mountain landscape. The artist, renowned for his ink and wash paintings, captures the essence of the natural world with masterful strokes. The scene, painted in a minimalist style, showcases the flowing water of a stream winding through the lush greenery. It’s a serene and contemplative work reflecting the Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi, emphasizing the beauty found in imperfection and transience. The scroll, currently housed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, is a testament to Mokubei's skill in capturing the subtle nuances of nature.
