(2) The Chinese allegory Kokei Sansho (The Three Laughers of the Tiger Ravine) tells of the meeting of three literati – a poet and a Taoist who cross the ravine to meet a Buddhist scholar who had vowed never to cross the stone bridge. Walking with them after an exhilarating discussion, he suddenly found that he had inadvertently walked on to the bridge, causing them all to break into laughter as they realized that spiritual purity cannot be bound by artificial boundaries. This episode was adapted into the Noh play Sansho. Nagasawa Rosetsu (1754-1799) was an 18th-century Japanese painter of the Maruyama School, known for his versatile style. He was born to the family of a low-ranking samurai. He studied with Maruyama Okyo in Kyoto. Rosetsu's early period works are in the style of Maruyama Okyo, although critics agree that the pupil's skill quickly surpassed his master's. Finally, they had a falling out and Rosetsu left the school. After the break, he worked under the patronage of the feudal lord of Yodo and accepted commissions at several temples. His works are kept in many museums worldwide, including the Dallas Museum of Art, the Walters Art Museum, the Princeton University Art Museum, the Harvard Art Museums, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, the British Museum, the Minneapolis Institute of Art, and many more.
