Summary[edit]

15th century Chinese scholar-physician, Japanese woodcut
Title
15th century Chinese scholar-physician, Japanese woodcut
Description

This woodcut, representing a scholar-physician, appears in a Japanese edition of the 15th century Chinese medical textWu Ting Zi su jie ba shi yi nan jing, (Wu Ting Zi's plain and simple exposition of the Canon of Eighty-One Problems) by Ao Feng Xiong Jun (style name Zongli, known as Wu Ting Zi).

The image shows a spacious terrace, shaded by a spreading tree. On a table in the centre, a book and writing equipment are set out. An elderly man is depicted in profile, seated behind the table, with his left arm resting on it. A young male attendant in the foreground holds a scroll of paper. The older man is probably the author, Ao Feng Xiong Jun (style name Zongli, known as Wu Ting Zi), and the younger one is presumably hisshutong- a boy serving in his study.
