The inscription on the mount indicates that this small work of
calligraphy by the Ming dynasty artist Wen Jia (1501-1583) was
once in the collection of Kang Youwei (1858-1927), who parted with
the work when he gifted it to a Lusou xiansheng 鹿叟先生. Lusou
was the hao of Shiraishi Rokusaburo 白石六三郎 (1868-1943), who
managed the Japanese restaurant Rokusan’en 六三園 in Shanghai,
and famously hosted many Shanghai painters at the restaurant, as
well as organized Wu Changshuo’s first solo exhibition there in 1914.
