Lake Xi, located on the outskirts of the city of Hangzhou in China, has such scenic beauty that every Zen monk who went to China visited it, and it became a popular subject for ink paintings. This work emphasizes the horizontal line of the bridge built by Bo Juyi (772-846) and Su Dongpo (1036-1101). The distinctive features of this painting are its soft brushwork effect and moist touch of ink. The artist, Ôsai, was closely associated with Nôami (1397-1471).
