EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Oxherding" takes us back to the first half of the 15th century in Japan during the Muromachi period. Created by Sekkyakushi, this image possibly illustrates the fifth verse of "Herding the Ox of the Ten Verses on Oxherding" a Zen parable. The photograph showcases a lone herder, known as a herd boy, skillfully guiding his oxen down a picturesque hillside. The gradient of the landscape adds depth and dimension to this heritage art piece. Ink on paper technique is used to capture every intricate detail with precision. As we delve into this scene from ancient Japan, we are transported to an era where agriculture played a vital role in people's lives. This portrait not only reflects one person's occupation but also serves as a metaphorical representation of our own spiritual journey. Rooted in Buddhism and Zen philosophy, this artwork invites contemplation about life's purpose and self-discovery. The serene atmosphere portrayed here encourages viewers to reflect upon their own paths while appreciating the simplicity and tranquility found within nature. Housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this hanging scroll preserves an important part of Japanese history and religious tradition for future generations to admire and learn from. Through its monochromatic beauty, it transcends time, reminding us that wisdom can be found even in centuries-old parables like these depicted by Sekkyakushi's masterful handiwork.
