This is a representative example of a type of ink painting known as shosaizu (images of a scholarly retreat), a subject popular among Zen priests in the early Muromachi period (1392-1573). The first of the three poems inscribed at the top of the painting begins with the four characters suishoku rankō, a phrase that can be literally translated as hue of the water
