Fall and Winter [left of a pair of Landscapes of the Four Seasons] c. mid 16th century

"Fall and Winter" is a six-panel screen depicting a landscape scene in muted tones of grey and brown, executed in the *sumi-e* (ink wash painting) style. The screen, a work of the Kano school, dates from the mid-16th century. The screen, which originally formed part of a set depicting the four seasons, showcases the Kano school's mastery of landscape representation. The *haikei* (background) of the screen is dominated by mountains rendered in the *haboku* (splashed ink) technique, lending a sense of depth and movement. The scene is characterized by a sense of tranquility and serenity, highlighting the beauty of the natural world in the changing seasons.
