Masuda Ryugai – 益田柳外 (1877-?) – Gorgeous Landscape – 綺麗な山水

Ryugai-san was selected for the prestigious Bunten Exhibition and was often selected by the Imperial Household. Highly regarded Shijo School painter. Many of his works were destroyed in the final stages of WWII and his date of death is unknown because of the war. His full name means: “The misty sanctuary beyond the willow trees, overlooking the overflowing rice fields.”

Calm water is a Zen reflection of inner calm / waterfalls a Zen reflection of energy and vitality / mist, fog and cloud are the intangible things in life that we can’t grasp / mountains are symbolic of longevity.
