This portrait depicts the Japanese master calligrapher Ono no Michikaze (894–966). He is shown seated on a tatami with a brush in his right hand, as if about to write on the sheet of paper before him. At the front edge of the tatami is a lacquer writing-box containing ink sticks and an ink stone; the inscription is a quotation from the Lotus Sutra. The Barnes portrait is based on a famous medieval painting attributed to Raiju Hokkyô, now in the Museum of the Imperial Collections in Tokyo.
