Original Description
Unkoku Tohan’s Spring and Summer captures the serene beauty of Japan’s changing seasons with masterful ink brushwork and delicate coloring. This folding screen (byobu) painting exemplifies the Unkoku school’s devotion to the legacy of Sesshū Tōyō, blending bold Zen-infused compositions with lyrical naturalism. Created during the Momoyama period (late 16th–early 17th century), it reflects the era’s dynamic cultural shift—where warlord patronage met the refinement of tea ceremony aesthetics. Tohan’s work stands as a bridge between the stark monochrome landscapes of his predecessors and the emerging polychrome decorativeness of early Edo art. The piece harmonizes seasonal motifs—perhaps cherry blossoms for spring and lush greenery for summer—imbuing them with quiet vitality. As one of Japan’s foremost kanga (Chinese-style painting) adaptors, Tohan’s works remain pivotal in understanding how Japanese artists reinterpreted continental techniques into localized poetry.
For contemporary spaces, Spring and Summer’s balanced duality makes it ideal for creating a contemplative yet energizing atmosphere. Install reproductions or framed segments in a minimalist office nook with warm wood tones and washi paper lighting to echo its traditional roots, or let it anchor a modern lounge when paired with low-profile neutrals—its organic greens and soft pinks subtly enliven grayscale interiors. Opt for a medium-to-large display (matching the original’s byobu proportions at ~150cm height) to command attention without overwhelming; position it adjacent to indoor plants or beside sliding shoji screens for rhythmic repetition of natural themes. In corporate settings, its seasonal symbolism lends itself well to reception areas, suggesting renewal and growth. For color cohesion, pull earthy celadon or lacquered red accents from the artwork’s palette into cushions or ceramics nearby.
