About this work

Haori for a man with a decoration on the lining of a landscape with pavilions and a bridge over a stream in the mountains, imitating a folding fan painting, with two figures to the left, one (Xianzhi) grinding ink in an inkstone on a rock, the other (his father, Zixhi) writing with a brush on a vertical piece of rock. Wan Zixhi was a Chinese calligrapher from the 4th century, famous for his Lan Ting Xu, Preface to the Collection of Poems Written in the Orchid Pavilion. Dark brown raw silk (tsumugi) with brocade-woven decoration.
