Sengai Gibon (1752-1837) was a priest in the Myoshinji temple of the Rinzai sect in the latter part of the Edo period. This down-to-earth, unafected, urbane man was very popular with many people around the country as a preacher. Very talented in producing the scrolls combining poetry calligraphy and paintings, an activity which he practiced with great enthusiasm on a daily basis, he has left a very large number of works. This one was produced as a kind of prayer for the repose of the soul of Sugawara no Michizane (845-903). Comissioned by worshippers of the deified Michizane, it includes a portrait of him under his posthumous name, Tenjin. There are very many images of Michizane from Kamakura period and later, and all of them are have essentially the same standardized appearance. In concise lines using only black inkwash, Tenjin is shown here in the formal dress with a vividly realistic face.
