Hotei, mid 1500s. Creator: Yamada Doan (Japanese, 1571)
Hotei, mid 1500s. The subject of this painting is Hotei, a Chan (Zen in Japanese) monk of the Tang period in China who became a legendary figure in Japan. There he symbolized the common man who attained saintly status. Doan was known for his religious paintings associated with Zen teachings. The inscription, of unknown authorship, warns against seeking enlightenment by conscious effort: Big stomach, gaping garment, Treasures gathered deep in the bottom of his bag, Passing through the sky is another road, Do not seek what his fingertip points to
