*''Born: [[1420]]''
*''Died: [[1506]]''
*''Japanese'': 雪舟等楊 ''(Sesshuu Touyou)''
Sesshû Tôyô was one of the most famous/prominent ink landscape painters of the [[Muromachi period]].
A number of his paintings are signed ''Nihon zenjin Tôyô'' ("Tôyô, [[Zen]] man of Japan"); it is believed this may designate works composed while Sesshû was sojourning in China, in order to identify himself as Japanese, and distinguish his works from those composed by Chinese painters.<ref>Michyo Morioka and Paul Berry, ''Modern Masters of Kyoto'', Seattle Art Museum (2000), 19.</ref>
