1804
From the collection of Cleveland Museum of Art
Poem is a 1804 by Rai Sanyō, a Romanticism work, held at Cleveland Museum of Art.
This is a simple paper scroll with black ink writing on a light tan background. The characters are arranged in columns, stacked vertically like a poem. Small red seals dot the edges, and one signature is in a flowing, cursive style at the bottom right. The text looks like a mix of poetry and personal notes, possibly about travel or nature. The handwriting varies—some lines are bold and confident, others softer and quick. Check out The Cleveland Museum of Art to see this work in person.
