This screen comprises a collage of Japanese poems and sketchlike ink-wash paintings on the theme of the Eight Views of the Xiao and Xiang brushed in the style of the famous early seventeenth-century calligrapher and man of letters Shōkadō Shōjō. The sheets of calligraphy with painting are underlaid by Maruyama Ōkyo"s autumn suzuki grasses rendered in gold pigment. This work shows how the Chinese Northern Song literati theme of place and political exile was transformed into a Japanese landscape theme of seasonal reference and atmosphere.
