When I judge the drawings I make, a resounding permission comes from having fortunately viewed two objects in the collection of the Museum of Fine Arts-Boston during the past several years. First and foremost is a painting by Soga Shôhaku entitled "The Four Sages of Mount Shang."

| In the right hand screen, the four sages, camped out on the mountain make themselves at home in their self-imposed exile. (MFA link) |

| I made a quick sketch of the emissary last December |
The second object is a Mexican writing desk. This is a detail view of one of the doors opened to reveal the "japonisme" style decoration inside. I love the exuberant and primitive confidence of these drawings. Please! look here at the MFA object page for more details.
