This painting of Guanyin (Kannon, in Japan) encapsulates the remarkable history of the Ōbaku school of Zen, which was brought from China to Japan in the seventeenth century. The school’s religious and political influence would grow to hold sway even in the imperial palace in Kyoto. The painting is by an imperial princess, daughter of the highly cultured and spiritually inclined Emperor Go-Mizunoo. Genyō trained in Zen teachings and meditation practice in her youth, and then encouraged her father to support Ingen and his Ōbaku sect. The two inscriptions on this painting are by Yinyuan (on the left) and his top pupil Muan.
