The hanging scroll on the right reads, "Inscription on the wall of monk Xuan Wu’s studio"; the hanging scroll on the left, "Staying at boat in Kui Zhou and not getting on the land because of the heavy rain."- 1983–2011Aoyama family collection, Tokyo, Japan, given to the Cleveland Museum of Art2011–The Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH
