Willow Bridge and Waterwheel c. 1650

Hasegawa Sôya's *Willow Bridge and Waterwheel* (c. 1650) is a six-panel screen depicting a serene landscape scene in the *Rinpa* style. The screen depicts a willow tree, a waterwheel, and a bridge, painted in gold and silver against a pale, yellow background. It is considered a prime example of Sôya's *Rinpa* style, showcasing his mastery of color and composition, with a delicate use of gold and silver. The screen is now on view at the Art Institute of Chicago.
