After
posting the Arakawa Toyozo Shino mizusashi last week, I remembered that
somewhere I had another illustration of a similar design on a scroll painting.
Illustrated is the image painted in ink from a mounted scroll, kakejiku by
Arakawa. The image is a simple Shino chawan with a casual landscape decorating
the bowl with the caption that reads; SHINO. It is unclear why the simple
caption, but having seen a number of his scroll, several of this design and
even more of his Shino chawan, this image is the epitome of Shino as the scroll
clearly states.
"and
when I think of the Momoyama, the first thing which floats to my mind is shino.
If I think about shino, than Mino comes to mind. It seems as though shino has
become rather famous." Arakawa
Toyozo
