Boating on a Snowy Evening

Yokoi Kinkoku

early 19th century

Hanging scroll, ink and color on paper

Minneapolis Institute of Art

Yokoi Kinkoku painted in a rapid and spontaneous manner and was especially successful in capturing the vibrancy of mountains and rocks. Toward the end of his life he became a wandering Buddhist priest of the Jōdo (Pure Land) school. Irregularly and richly shaped, the mountains go high up in the painting. Black ink dotting and lively outlines give the rocks a rich texture. Gallery Not on View Gift of the Clark Center for Japanese Art & Culture
