周茂叔愛蓮図 Zhou Maoshu Admiring Lotuses MET DP 12232 283, Zhou Maoshu Admiring Lotuses - hanging scroll by Kaiho Yusetsu (MET, 2015.300.221), A bearded scholar props his elbows on the side of his boat and rests his chin in his hands, leaning over to catch a glimpse of lotuses scattered across the surface of a pond. He is recognizable as the Northern Song-dynasty philosopher Zhou Maoshu (Chinese: Zhou Dunyi, 1017–1073). A leading figure in early neo-Confucian thought, Zhou wrote, among other texts, the short essay “On the Love of the Lotus” (“Ai lian shuo”), in which he describes the lotus as a “man of virtue,” in contrast to the “hermitlike” chrysanthemum and the “aristocratic” peony. After the death of his father, Kaihō Yūshō (1533–1615), Yūsetsu operated a shop selling readymade pictures under the name “Chūzaemon.” Later, he received patronage of Tokugawa Iemitsu, the third shogun, and reverted to using the family name Kaihō., Zhou Dunyi admiring lotuses by Kaihō Yūsetsu, mid-17th century

周茂叔愛蓮図 周毛舟 蓮華図  DP 12232 283,周毛舟 蓮華図-海北友雪の掛軸(MET, 2015.300.221) 髭を生やした学者が、を舟の脇に置き、を手に休ませて、池の表面に散らばっているハスの垣間見えるように寄りかかっている。北宋代哲学者周毛舟(中国語:周敦義、1017-1073)として認められている。朱子学初期の思想の中心人物であった周は、とりわけ「蓮の愛について」という短いエッセイを著し、蓮を「仙人的」な菊と「貴族的」牡丹とは対照的に「徳の人」と表現している。父の死後は「宙左衛門」という名で既製品の店を経営していた。その後、3代将軍徳川家光の庇護を受け、海宝姓に復し、17世紀半ばには周敦義が海宝勇雪の蓮華を顕彰した。
