The Four Accomplishments, mid 18th century, Ike Taiga, Japanese, 1723 - 1776, 22 1/2 × 48 7/8 in. (57.15 × 124.14 cm) (image)75 1/2 × 52 1/2 in. (191.77 × 133.35 cm) (mount, without roller), Ink on paper, Japan, 18th century, This gathering of Chinese men represents Ike Taigas playful take on one of the most popular Chinese literary themes depicted in Japanese painting, the so-called 'Four Accomplishments,' four pastimes said to be suitable for learned gentlemen. One of these is calligraphy, represented by the two men at left, one of whom is prepared to begin writing. Another is a chess-like game called go, although here the game board seems to serve as little more than an elbow rest for two men engaged in a third pastime, painting. From behind the ink landscape they admire emerges a young boy carrying a Chinese zither, a fourth pastime.

1 of Tethers, from The Cloisters Playing Cards ca. 1475-80 South Netherlandish The Cloisters set of fifty-two cards constitutes the only known complete deck of illuminated ordinary playing cards (as opposed to tarot cards) from the fifteenth century. There are four suits, each consisting of a king, queen, knave, and ten pip cards. The suit symbols, based on equipment associated with the hunt, are hunting horns, dog collars, hound tethers, and game nooses. The value of the pip cards is indicated by appropriate repetitions of the suit symbol. The figures, which appear to be based on Franco-Flemish models, were drawn in a bold, free, and engaging, if somewhat unrefined, hand. Their exaggerated and sometimes anachronistic costumes suggest a lampoon of extravagant Burgundian court fashions. Although some period card games are named, it is not known how they were played. Almost all card games did, however, involve some form of gambling. The condition of the set indicates that the cards were
