Rantei Kyokusui Zu, also known as "Poetry Gathering at the Orchid Pavilion," is a celebrated work by the Japanese artist Kano Tsunenobu, who was an influential painter of the Edo period. Kano Tsunenobu (1636–1713) was a prominent member of the Kano school, which was the dominant style of painting in Japan from the late Muromachi period through the Edo period. The Kano school was known for its mastery of ink and wash painting, often incorporating elements of Chinese painting techniques and themes.

"Poetry Gathering at the Orchid Pavilion" is a visual representation of a famous historical and cultural event that took place in China during the Eastern Jin Dynasty in 353 AD. The event, known as the Lanting Xu or "Orchid Pavilion Gathering," was a gathering of scholars and poets organized by the renowned calligrapher Wang Xizhi. During this gathering, the participants composed poems while sitting along a meandering stream, floating cups of wine down the water. When a cup stopped in front of a participant, they were required to compose a poem on the spot. This event is immortalized in Wang Xizhi's preface to the collection of poems created that day, which is considered one of the greatest masterpieces of Chinese calligraphy.

Kano Tsunenobu's painting captures the essence of this historical event, depicting scholars in traditional Chinese attire engaged in the poetic and leisurely activities of the gathering. The work reflects the Kano school's characteristic blend of Chinese and Japanese artistic influences, showcasing Tsunenobu's skillful use of ink and brush to create a harmonious and evocative scene. The painting not only serves as a visual homage to a significant cultural moment but also exemplifies the Edo period's fascination with Chinese culture and the intellectual pursuits of the literati.

"Poetry Gathering at the Orchid Pavilion" by Kano Tsunenobu remains an important cultural artifact, illustrating the enduring influence of Chinese literary and artistic traditions on Japanese art. It is a testament to the cross-cultural exchanges that have shaped the artistic heritage of East Asia.
