Yōgetsu

Yōgetsu was a Japanese painter active in the early 16th century. He is known for his ink wash paintings, which often depict landscapes and figures. Yōgetsu's work is characterized by its subtle use of black ink and its emphasis on atmospheric effects. His works often feature misty mountains, flowing rivers, and solitary figures, creating a sense of peace and tranquility. This style reflects the Zen Buddhist aesthetics of the time and exemplifies the beauty of simplicity and natural forms.
