Title Japanese Big Hanging Scroll : TOMIOKA TESSAI "Sixteen Arhat / Rakan" @c600 Item Description *Tomioka Tessai (1837~1924) ï¼ Tomioka Tessai was born in Kyoto. His family business was the maker of the clothes for buddhist priests. He learned reading and writing from Baien. When he was 15, he laerned the study of ancient Japanese thought and culture and Confucianism. When he was 20 he moved in to the Shoshin Temple to learn Yomeigaku, and he commited to expulsion of foreigners and worked hard for it at the end of the Edo period. Althogh lots of people like Kinoshita Itsuun or Tessen taught Tessai the way of painting, his painting was almost educated himself. He studied Nan-ga, Minshin-ga (China), and Yamato-e (Japan), and he made his own painting style by them. While he was flourishing as a painter, he was also teaching in school successfully untill the retiring age. He followed the wisdom of Chinese Bunjin-ga master Dong Qichang, "Read vast number of books and go on the road thousands of miles.(to make your paint better)", and he traveled a lot. He was the collecter of the Calligraphy of Kiko. *Rakan (Arahan,Arhat): The word " Rakan " literally means "worthy one" (an alternative etymology is "foe-destroyer") and constitutes the highest grade of noble person- ariya-puggala -described by the Buddha as recorded in the Pali canon. The word was used (as it is today in the liturgy of Theravada Buddhism) as an epithet of the Buddha himself as well as of his enlightened disciples. The most widely recited liturgical reference is perhaps the homage: Namo Tassa Bhagavato, Arahato, Samma-sammbuddhassa.-Homage to him, the Blessed One, the Worthy One, the perfectly enlightened Buddha. In China and Japan, people called 16 pupils who promised to defend and maintain the teachings of Buddhism with "Sixteen Disciples of Buddha" and admired them. Condition Signature & Seal = Tessai.
