The Poet Sōsei

Shokadō Shōjō

Cleveland Museum of Art

The image depicts a bald man sitting cross-legged on a patterned cloth wearing a white robe. The man sits with his body facing right and head slightly bowed. A black sash wraps around his body and across his right shoulder. The background is brown with black Japanese characters written in a vertical column on both sides and one character on top. Some of the characters are harder to see due to fading. A gold border surrounds the image. This art piece is titled The Poet Sōsei by Shokadō Shōjō.
