Explorez les peintures marquantes de Kobayakawa Shūsei (1885-1974), un artiste japonais illustrant le Japon de guerre et l'art impérial. Découvrez son style unique et sa portée historique.
Manjushri, the bodhisattva of wisdom known as Monju in Japan, sits cross-legged on the back of his lion vehicle. Monju appears as a youth in flowing robes, his hair worn long and loose; one of his attributes, a scepter, is placed casually on the ground before him. Although it is a decidedly carefree interpretation, the iconography seen here is consistent with works by painters affiliated with the Zen monastery Tōfukuji in Kyoto.
