White Snow in Early Spring late 18th - early 19th century

"White Snow in Early Spring" is a Japanese calligraphy work by Kameda Bōsai, a prominent artist of the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The piece, created with black ink on paper, showcases Bōsai's mastery of the art form, evident in the bold and fluid strokes that bring the characters to life. The minimalist composition, composed of four characters, invites contemplation and reflection, highlighting the beauty of Japanese calligraphy as a form of both visual and literary expression. This artwork, housed at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a testament to the enduring appeal and sophistication of Japanese calligraphy.
