“Bashō’s contemporary Tosa Mitsukuni (1617–1691) develops a similar theory regarding the art of painting. For him, the main purpose of a painting is mimesis, thereby repudiating factual errors, but it is “the spirit of the object” that the painter must grasp and present.10 Toward this end, the painter should omit certain elements, making the overall efect “incomplete” and “suggestive,” facilitating the presentation of the essential characteristics more readily, such as bird-ness. Most likely conscious of the teachings by Bashō and Mitsukuni, another painter, Tsubaki Chinzan (1800–1854), also claims: “[E]ven when painted with black ink, bamboo is bamboo; with red ink, bamboo is also bamboo. If the spirit of bamboo is embodied in the brush, the ambience of bamboo will naturally arise. This is the essence of painting.””
