    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 water leaves no trace, Blossoms, like clouds, have their own mind."

    Kodôjin, the "Old Taoist" (1865-1944), was the last of these great poet-painters in Japan. Portraying this last representative of a tradition of gentle and refined artistry in the midst of a society that valued economic growth and national achievement, this beautifully illustrated book includes a wide selection of his finest poems, paintings, and calligraphy.
