You may bewitch the others, but not old Mata! Oh, Dragon Painter! Oh, Dragon Painter! The greatest since Sesshu!" she mimicked, "show me a few of the wonderful things you were to paint us when once you were Kano's son! Bah! you were given my nursling, as a wolf is given a young fawn, that was all you wanted. You will never paint!" "Tell me where she is or I'll " began the boy, raving.
There was something about his daughter not altogether reassuring. His prearranged sentences began to slip away, like sand. "I will speak briefly. I wish you to become the wife of the Dragon Painter, that we may secure him to the race of Kano. He has no name of his own. He is the greatest painter since Sesshu!" The speaker waved his hands. All had been said.
Among his pupils was Shubun, and the latter's followers included such illustrious names as Sotan, Sesshu, Shinno; Masanbbu, and Motonobu. It is to this day a question whether Japan ever produced greater artists than Sesshu and Motonobu. To the same galaxy belongs Tosa no Mitsunobu, the founder of the Tosa school as Motonobu was of the Kano.
Hitherto penmanship in Kyoto had taken for models the style of Kobo Daishi and Ono no Tofu. In Kyoto, painting was represented by the schools of Koze, Kasuga, Sumiyoshi, and Tosa; in Kamakura, its masters were Ma Yuan, Hsia Kwei, and Mu Hsi, who represented the pure Southern Academy of China, and who were followed by Sesshu, Kao, and Shubun.
The Tosa school was to a degree replaced after the fifteenth century in interior painting by the schools of Sesshu and Kano. It derived a further character of religion from the theory of Kitabatake Chikafusa, who contended that Shinto, Buddhism, and Confucianism were all capable of being welded into one whole.
For the condescension they trusted that he would allow them to give a present of money, as large a sum as he was willing to name." "A second Sesshu! A second Sesshu!" old Kano would murmur to himself, in subdued ecstacy. "So did they load his ship with silk, four centuries ago!" Of most of these commissions, Tatsu never heard.
"Had I dreamed of such low conduct, they should never have been married at all!" "Of course he is n't worthy of her," sighed the other, one eye on Kano's face. "Nonsense! He is more than worthy of any woman upon earth if he could but learn to conduct himself like a human being." "That would take a long schooling." "He is the greatest artist since Sesshu!" cried the old man, vehemently.
