$3,830.00Price
A beautiful example of an album leaf (here mounted on a hanging scroll) painted by Kodojin. Albums in the shape of folded books with paintings on its pages originated in Ming-Dynasty China. In Japan they became a popular format during the Edo period. The generic term is Gajo. In most cases painted album leaves were gifts offered to friends or patrons.
Flowing waters leave no trace -
Flowers and clouds have their own mind.
