Shimizu Kosho | Painting
$1,750.00Price
In 1975 Shimizu Kosho was chosen Abbot of Todai-ji Temple in Nara. He remained in this position for only a rather short time, resigning in 1981. For the remaining nearly twenty years of his life, Shimizu Kosho was dedicated to the life of an artist: He became a prolific and eccentric painter, calligrapher and figurative potter. Unlike most artist monks, he did not limit himself to painting in black ink, but enjoyed a full range of colors. His writing and painting styles are what may be described as obsessively impulsive. – Original box (tomobako).
