“Lingering Rain over Half the Village” – (Uragami Gyokudō) Previous Next


Artist:

Date: 1815

Size: 22 x 48 cm

Technique: Paper

Although he was born into a family of relatively high-ranking warrior-retainers, from a young age, Uragami Gyokudō expressed more interest in literature, painting, and music. He finally resigned his position at forty-nine and traveled widely for the rest of his life. In this late work executed in short, meticulous strokes with a dry brush, Gyokudō paints a secluded mountain village—barely visible at far right—still enveloped in mist after the rain.
