Sesshū Tōyō was a highly celebrated medieval Japanese painter specializing in Chinese-style ink painting, and works in his style remained in high demand for centuries after his death at the beginning of the sixteenth century. This nineteenth-century forgery entered The Met"s collection in 1914 along with nearly two hundred other Japanese and Chinese artworks from the collection of Charles Stewart Smith (1832–1909), a Trustee of the Museum. Smith was primarily a collector of European paintings but also acquired a large number of Japanese and Chinese works of art during the last two decades of his life, after he and his third wife honeymooned in Japan in 1892.
