setsurobyou　折蘆描

KEY WORD :　 art history / paintings

Ch: zhelumiao. Lit. bent-reed drawing. An ink-painting technique that employs brush strokes with pronounced beginnings and sharp twists. Bending but not breaking, these strokes resemble twisted reeds. The setsurobyou style is frequently seen in Chan (Jp:Zen 禅) figure paintings *doushakuga 道釈画 of the Southern Song dynasty. Liang Kai (Jp: Ryou Kai 梁楷; fl. late 12-13c), a prominent artist who became known for his use of the setsurobyou manner was a member of the Southern Song painting academy and retired from official service to spend the last years of his life in Chan monasteries. Ming artists of the Che school, Seppa 浙派 also favored the bent-reed style of painting. In Japan, the Kanou school *Kanouha 狩野派 adapted setsurobyou one of the eighteen types of figural portrayal *jinbutsu juuhachibyou 人物十八描.
