| Tsubo Naka Fu Getsu! The Wind and the Moon can be found in the bottle!) Is erratically brushed with a bold hand in the confines of a jar on the front of this pale Shino-yaki sake bottle by eccentric Zen priest and painter Shimizu Kosho enclosed in the original signed wooden box. The flask is 5-1/2 inches (14 cm) tall and in perfect condition. Kosho (1911-1999) was a unique and prolific artist-priest studied in the eccentric painting style associated with Nara. He was long time abbot of the massive Todai-ji temple complex in Nara, home of the great Buddha. Like many priests, he began producing art to propagate his teachings later in life. He proved extremely popular, the nonchalant style plucking a string in the Japanese heart. He worked in various media, refusing to be defined, and his work is as eccentric as it is unique, and highly sought in Japan. | ||||||||||
