Nōami

Nōami

▪ Japanese artist
original name  Nakao Shinnō 
born 1397, Japan
died 1494

      Japanese poet, painter, and art critic, the first nonpriest who painted in the suiboku (“water-ink”), or Chinese, style.

      Nōami was in charge of the art collection of Ashikaga Yoshimitsu, the military dictator who ruled Japan from 1368 to 1394, and was perhaps the first great art expert in Japan. His catalog of Yoshimitsu's collection, Kundaikan sayū chōki (1476; “A Treatise on the Scrolls in the Lord's Watchtower”), is invaluable as an early Japanese appraisal of Chinese artists.

      Many of Nōami's paintings have been preserved. Among the best known are “The Pines of Miho,” a landscape executed on a screen in the soft ink-wash technique associated with Mu-ch'i Fa-ch'ang, the 13th-century Chinese priest-painter whose work Nōami admired, and “The White-Robed Kannon,” a portrait in ink of the Buddhist goddess of mercy painted for his child's memorial service. Nōami's son, Geiami (d. 1485), and grandson, Sōami, also served the Ashikaga court as painters and art advisers; together they are known as the San Ami (Three Amis).
