Because Chang Jui-tu's (1570-1641) style name was Erh-shui ("Two Waters"), his works were said to prevent fire. Many were brought to Japan by Buddhist monks of the Huang-po Sect, and this piece is one of the oldest introduced to Japan. Perhaps this work was produced about the time Chang was fifty-seven. The poem transcribed is "Mount Chung-nan" by Wang Wei. The keen brushstrokes and fluent brushwork are delightful and refreshing. ( Collection of the Kyoto National Museum )
