伝近衛信尋書・伝長谷川宗也絵 葛下絵色紙貼付 『和漢朗詠集』 屏風|Anthology of Japanese and Chinese Poems (Wakan rōeishū) with Underpainting of Arrowroot Vines is a 1616 ink by Konoe Nobuhiro|Hasegawa Sōya, a Baroque work, depicting Leaf, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This screen shows six panels of golden leaves and vines. Each leaf is bright green with visible veins, and the vines twist across a light yellow background. Between the leaves are small, faded paper squares with faint writing or sketches. The mix of gold, green, and worn paper creates a quiet, layered look. The writing on the squares might be poems or notes, but it’s hard to read. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists build texture with lines.
Japanese, 1599–1649|Japanese, born 1590
