"Portrait of Sōgi" is a notable ink painting by the Japanese artist Motonobu Kanō (1476–1559), who was a prominent figure in the Kanō school of painting during the Muromachi period. The portrait, which is believed to have been created between the late 15th and early 16th centuries, depicts the esteemed Zen monk and renga (linked-verse) poet Sōgi (1421–1501). Sōgi is renowned for his contributions to Japanese literature and for his mastery of renga, a collaborative poetry form that was a precursor to the later developed haiku.

The artwork is executed in the traditional monochrome ink style, known as sumi-e, which was a hallmark of Japanese Zen art during this period. Motonobu's portrayal of Sōgi is characterized by its simplicity and the use of fluid, expressive brushstrokes that capture both the physical likeness and the spiritual essence of the poet. The painting not only serves as a visual representation of Sōgi but also as a testament to the cultural and artistic exchanges between the literati and the artists of the time.

Motonobu Kanō's "Portrait of Sōgi" is significant for its historical and cultural value, as it provides insight into the aesthetics and ideals of the Muromachi period. The portrait is often studied for its artistic merit, as well as its role in documenting the life of one of Japan's most celebrated literary figures. The painting is preserved in a collection in Japan, and it continues to be an important work for scholars of Japanese art and literature.
