I worked at a small English Language School in Japan in the early 80s, located in Yamaguchi Prefecture in Western Japan. Last night I was watching "Masterpieces of universal painting" on Amazon Prime, and part of their early Asian Art touched on Japanese Ink paintings. I remembered one of my favorite Japanese artists - Sesshu (1420-1506)- retired in the Yamaguchi area. Our school's Supervisor took us to a Temple associated with Sesshu. From https://www.britannica.com/biography/Sesshu "After many trips through northern Kyushu and other sections of Japan, Sesshū again returned to Yamaguchi in 1486 and rebuilt his studio. It is not certain whether or not he also lived in Iwami, as some sources suggest. Several temples claim the honour of being his burial site." Also, Sesshu was a Buddhist Monk. I'm doing this on my phone. Our internet today is being cranky.
