Kaō

Painter (1288-1345) · Japan · On the map · Artists · Died at 57

Kaō Ninga was a Japanese priest-painter whose work is considered typical of early Muromachi painting. Some of the earliest suiboku works can be attributed to him. He is especially known for his depiction of the legendary monk Kensu at the moment he achieved enlightenment.

Kaō is read about 5 times a day, in 5 languages.

A typical day, 30 days to 11 July 2026

The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 60 days, one point a day.
