Ike no Taiga (1739-76) had been closely related to the Ôbakusan Manpuku-ji Temple in the city of Uji, Kyoto, since he was very young. He made a number of shôheki ga ("screen and wall paintings") for the temple including Five Hundred Arhats, and seems to have learned the teachings of Zen Buddhism through this close relationship. In some ways, his relationship with his wife, Gyokuran, who was also a painter, resembled that of Hanshan and Shide, which emphasized the wife's acquiescence to her husband's wishes. Taiga completed this painting by using his fingertips rather than a brush.
