The large red tripod-shaped seal on this painting is that of Kano Motonobu, head of the Kano school atelier in Kyoto that served the shogun. Gesshū Jukei, a longtime resident of the Zen temple Kenninji in Kyoto, inscribed the poem. The two are known to have worked together on at least one other occasion. The poem describes an intimate meeting of dear friends, a suitable theme for a work that was likely given as a gift to an esteemed associate, perhaps weary of the politics of life in the capital. <br><br>In either fine weather or <br>during the rainy season the <br>mountain’s color is pale. <br><br>A friend visits, rowing his <br>boat while reciting a poem. <br><br>Tonight we’ll drink <br>together at the inn on the river. <br><br>Across, on the other side of the <br>river is a house with people <br>living in it, but there <br>is nothing to drink there.
