Le propriétaire est connu. Si elle est exposée aujourd’hui, le musée ne le dit pas, et l’on ne nous a pas appris à deviner.
The calligraphic poems of this triptych sing of peace and sincerity to better the world. Tesshu, Kaishu, and Deishu were high-ranking samurai in the shogun’s regime. When the shogunate fell in 1868, they made a concerted effort to have this transpire without bloodshed. They were accomplished calligraphers and frequently collaborated as ‘the three Shu’.
