Fenggan, Hanshan, and Shide 1400 - 1449

This hanging scroll, "Fenggan, Hanshan, and Shide," by the Japanese artist Reisai (1700-1899) depicts the legendary figures Fenggan, Hanshan, and Shide, seated on a rocky outcropping. Executed in ink and light washes on silk, the painting evokes a sense of tranquility and solitude. This artwork is part of the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and dates from the Muromachi period (1336-1573) in Japan.
