{"product_id":"landscape-isho-tokugan","title":"Landscape - Ishō Tokugan","description":"\u003cp\u003eA serene Muromachi period ink wash painting by Ishō Tokugan, featuring a solitary figure in a mountain retreat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis work by the Zen monk-painter Ishō Tokugan represents the aesthetic traditions of the Muromachi period. The composition follows the conventions of suiboku-ga, or ink wash painting, which prioritises the expressive potential of monochrome ink on silk. The scene depicts a solitary figure within a small structure, positioned near a gnarled pine tree. This motif serves as a traditional symbol of longevity and resilience in East Asian art. The surrounding terrain features steep rock formations and a winding stream, rendered with varying ink tones to suggest depth and atmospheric perspective.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTokugan employs a technique that balances controlled brushwork with softer, washed areas. The mist, which obscures the distant peaks, creates a sense of spatial ambiguity. This stylistic choice encourages the viewer to contemplate the emptiness of the space, a concept aligned with Zen Buddhist philosophy. The artist uses thin, precise lines for the architectural details and the needles of the pine, while the rocks are defined by broader, textured strokes. The overall palette is muted, relying on the natural ageing of the silk and the subtle gradations of ink to convey the mood of the scene. This print captures the quietude of the original, preserving the delicate balance between the solid forms of the earth and the ephemeral nature of the atmosphere. It is a representative example of the ink painting tradition that flourished in Japanese Zen monasteries during the fifteenth century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"margin-top:2rem;padding-top:1.5rem;border-top:1px solid #e5e5e5;\"\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size:0.85rem;color:#888;font-weight:600;margin:0 0 0.75rem;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:0.05em;\"\u003eYou might also like\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"display:flex;flex-wrap:wrap;gap:0.5rem;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/landscapes-one-of-a-pair-unkoku-toyo\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eLandscapes (one of a pair) - Unkoku Tōyo — Unkoku Tōyo\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/fuji-no-uraha-chobunsai-eishi\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#f8f9fa;border:1px solid #e5e5e5;border-radius:20px;padding:0.35rem 0.85rem;font-size:0.8rem;color:#2a555a;font-weight:500;text-decoration:none !important;background-image:none !important;\"\u003eFuji no Uraha - Chōbunsai Eishi — Chōbunsai Eishi\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ishō Tokugan","offers":[{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59031816110415,"sku":null,"price":39.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59031946232143,"sku":null,"price":49.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Poster \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ -","offer_id":59031946264911,"sku":null,"price":89.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59031946297679,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59031946330447,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Small Square (30x30 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59031946363215,"sku":null,"price":119.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59031946395983,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59031946428751,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Medium Square (40x40 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59031946461519,"sku":null,"price":185.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Black frame","offer_id":59031946494287,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Wood frame","offer_id":59031946527055,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Fine Art Framed \/ Large Square (50x50 cm) \/ Dark wood frame","offer_id":59031946559823,"sku":null,"price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0833\/9292\/1935\/files\/Landscape_Poster_CompositorV1_1791337829039.jpg?v=1791339150","url":"https:\/\/www.solisprints.com\/products\/landscape-isho-tokugan","provider":"Solis Prints","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
