Ch: Sanjiao. A painting subject of the three patriarchs, Confucious (Jp:*Koushi EŽq), Laozi (Jp:Roushi ˜VŽq), and Shakyamuni (Jp:*Shaka Žί‰ή), of China's three great religions, Confucianism (Jp: Jukyou Žς‹³), Taoism (Jp: Doukyou “Ή‹³), and Buddhism (Jp: Bukkyou •§‹³) respectively. The Neo-Confucian doctrine of the Southern Song scholar Zhu Xi Žιΰ” (1130-1200) stressed the unity of the three creeds Sankyou which had previously been thought of as contradictory. The pictorial theme of the Three Patriarchs, along with related themes such as the *sansan-zu ŽOŽ_} and *Kokei sanhou ŒΥŒkŽOΞ, typically offer a light-hearted version of the ecumenical Neo-Confucian doctrine. The subject was rendered frequently in Chinese figure painting of the Southern Song and Yuan periods. Among Japanese paintings of the Muromachi period, Josetsu's ”@Ω work, Ryousokuin —Ό‘«‰@ in Kyoto, is particularly well known.
