Botanka Shōhaku (1443–1527) was a medieval priest and waka poet. Here the learned man holds a fan painted with a Chinese-style landscape; a closed book lies at his feet. The artist, Maruyama Ōkyo, is renowned today as the founder of the Maruyama school of painting. Although the work is a copy of an earlier painting, Ōkyo’s delineation of the face nonetheless reflects a concern with the realistic portrayal of human figures.
