KEY WORD :@art history / paintings | ||||||
@ | ||||||
Paintings directly executed on sliding doors made of cryptomeria wood *sugido Λ which and functioned as exits and entrances to hallways. The term already appears in Fujiwara Teika's ‘΄θΖ (1162-1241) diary MEIGETSUKI ΎL, and illustrations of sugido-e are found in handscrolls *emaki Gͺ of the late Kamakura period. The earliest extant example appears to be in the main hall, Hondou {° of Kakurinji ίΡ (1397), Hyougo prefecture. Most sugido-e depict birds, flowers or animals. Since the majority omit an undercoat, the grain of the wood serves as a background for the motifs. The wood grain also discouraged complex designs, so generally the motifs are large and simple. The most famous example is probably Soutatsu's @B (?-1640?) Elephant and Chinese Lion ZouEKarajishi-zu ΫEq} at Yougen-in {Ή@ (1594), Kyoto. | ||||||
