Keison's *Landscapes of the Four Seasons* is a pair of hanging scrolls, each depicting a serene, mountainous landscape. The artist, who lived from 1534 to 1566, skillfully uses ink wash to create a sense of depth and atmosphere, capturing the beauty of the changing seasons. These paintings, now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, are a testament to the enduring appeal of traditional Chinese landscape painting in Japanese art.
