Features: The Aoe school was active in Bitchu Province from the Kamakura period through the Nanbokucho period.
\nWorks from the mid-Kamakura period are referred to as “Ko-Aoe”, while later pieces are simply “Aoe”.
\nKo-Aoe typically feature suguha with small nie.
\nIn the Nanbokucho period, the hamon evolved into tighter suguha or reversed choji-midare styles.
\nThe kin zogan inscription reads:
\n\u201cKumo kata yake asakaze yuukaze no fukiharau koto no gotoku\u201d \u2014
\nThis poetic phrase describes how the divine power sweeps away clouds that pile up in layers and the morning and evening winds, cleansing all sins and impurities completely.<\/p>\n

Aoi Art\u2019s Comment: This is a finely made work.
\nIt is believed to date from the Nanbokucho period.<\/p>\n
