Sul dipinto

Paintings by the Confucian scholar Doi Gōga can be mistaken for the work of no other artist, yet he is little known today. Along with calligraphy and paintings of bamboo, his oeuvre included ghosts, skeletons, and other figures of the imagination and folklore. These were painted in an idiosyncratic style that was perhaps inspired by the simplicity of Zen painting and sometimes inscribed with biting Confucian admonishments.

The poem here reads: “The ultimate truth of humankind is something fleeting—like a fart or like smoke, it manifests and dissipates.”
