Emperor Yao Visiting Yu Chonghua, mid- to late 1600s. One of a pair, this screen shows a section of the narrative of how the Chinese Emperor Yao (about 2356-2255 BC) selected his successor, Yu Chonghua (about 2294- 2184 BC), who would become Emperor Shun. The artist who painted this screen, Kusumi Morikage, trained with Kano Tan yo (1602-1647), painter-in-residence to Japans shogun, the countrys ruler, and was one of his four top students. Despite the conservative subject matter, Morikages distinctive sensibility shines through in his playful treatment of the gray and white elephants in the far left panel of the composition.
