Showa Metal Rooster Year! [1981]
(signed) Zuigan Goun
This was brushed in the year of the Rooster, of course. Zen masters often did such paintings for each new year, with the appropriate animal for that cycle, to serve as good-luck charms for their parishioners. Guon was longtime abbot of Zuigan-ji in Matsushima, a marvelous Zen temple in one of the most beautiful areas in Japan.
