  Maggie's Mind — Authority: 118
  From last time , here is the reason for the depiction of a small boy tied up and crying with a mouse nearby. It`s not what I would have guessed. Sesshu Toyo "Kanō Einōs History of Japanese Painting ( Honchogashi ), a 17th century source, contains a well-known anecdote about the young Sesshū: apparently the ...
