Ch: Lin Hejing (967-1028). A noted poet, calligrapher and scholar of the Northern Song dynasty. Rin Nasei's real name was Lin Bu (Jp: Rin Po 林逋), while his posthumous name was Hejing. He was raised in Qiantang 銭塘 but is associated with his hermitage on Mt. Gu 孤山 near the West Lake *Seiko 西湖. Lin Hejing is said to have domesticated two cranes, a story illustrated in two painting types called petting the cranes bukaku-zu 撫鶴図 and tame cranes junkaku-zu 馴鶴図. Lin was also known for his fondness for plum blossoms, and he is included in the painting theme called Four Favorites *Shiai 四愛. Lin is typically shown as the ideal hermit, wandering through a landscape in search of his beloved plum blossoms accompanied by a crane and servant. Paintings of Lin Hejing can be traced to the Southern Song period and are found in Japan from the Muromachi period (15th century). Representative works include a hanging scroll attributed to Shūbun 周文 (mid-15th century, Kyoto National Museum) and screens *fusuma-e 襖絵 by Kano Sansetsu 狩野山雪 (1589/90-1651, Daihōonji 大報恩寺, Kyoto) and Kano Tan'yū 狩野探幽 (1602-74, Shūon'an 酬恩庵, Kyoto).
