White-robed Kannon

Artwork · Minchō · 1421 · kakemono · MOA Museum of Art

A dōshakuga by Minchō: Kannon in a white robe sits informally in her grotto and gazes out over the ocean, a beautiful, languid and feminine figure whose divinity is suggested only by crown and halo — a circle of mist through which the rock can be seen. 1 Mason 2005, pp. 217–218, fig. 253. ↩ Literatur Mason 2005: Penelope E.
