Poetry and painting scroll - Shigajiku

Japanese: 詩画軸 - しがじく

A hanging scroll painting with a Chinese poem related to the subject written in the blank space at the top of the picture. It was common for literati in the Song and Yuan dynasties of China to write a poem at the top of the painting, and this custom eventually became widespread among Zen monks. In Japan, the style of painting and poetry scrolls also came into use with the introduction of Zen Buddhism, and as Chinese literature became more popular among the Zen monks of the Five Mountains, the style of painting and poetry scrolls became even more widespread and played an important role in the establishment of ink-wash landscape paintings. Representative examples include the unknown artist "Shibamon Shingetsuzu" (1405, Fujita Museum of Art) and "Kei-in Shochikuzu" (13), attributed to Meicho.

Japanese:

画面の上部の余白に画題にちなんだ漢詩を書いた掛物形式の絵画。中国の宋，元の文人間では絵の上部に詩の賛をつけるのが一般的であったが，やがてこの習慣が禅僧の間で広く行われるようになった。日本では禅宗の伝来とともに詩画軸の形式も行われるようになり，五山の禅僧の間で漢文学が盛んになるにつれて，詩画軸の形式も一層普及し，水墨山水図の成立に重要な働きをした。代表例に筆者不明の『柴門新月図』 (1405，藤田美術館) ，伝明兆筆『渓陰小築図』 (13) などがある。
