Monkeys on a Limb--17th Century Painting by Sosen
Image Description from historic lecture booklet: "A Japanese picture is not painted simply for the sake of representative effect; it is part of a decorative scheme. A Japanese never shows more than one picture or one set of pictures at a time. If he has a large collection, he keeps them in his fireproof storeroom, and gives to each in turn a temporary place in the alcove recess. As it hangs there the eye must find equal pleasure in regarding it from every part of the room."
Original Collection: Visual Instruction Department Lantern Slides
