          * race at uji river (harvard art museums, cambridge, united states): this polychromatic screen, depicting a famous episode from the 14th-century war epic "the tale of the heike," showcases shōhaku's pictorial grotesquerie. it is a rare example of his work in full color. * the immortal li tieguai (128 x 28 cm, paper): this piece illustrates the story of one of the eight chinese immortals, li tieguai, and demonstrates shōhaku's ability to convey complex narratives through his art.

          artistic influences and legacy
