ccording to the inscription, this screen was painted in the manner of O Mo (Wang Meng) on December 15, 1760. The inscription also says that it was painted at a drinking party. When examining this screen carefully, we can find the ink which has run down on the paper. This reveals the Buson did not paint this screen in an ordinary way but, after setting up the screen, painted on it at one sitting. A screen painted in this manned reflects the saloon-like atmosphere surrounding the artists and their patrons in Kyoto. One piece from what was originally a pair of hanging scrolls, its counterpart had been a landscape painting in the manner of Bei Futsu (Mi Fu).
