Comments:Rawson 1992:In China, the painting of ‘arhats’ (‘luohan’ in Chinese) in series of sixteen or eighteen dates back to the Tang dynasty. ‘Arhat’ is the Sanskrit term for saintly men who remained in the mortal world to defend the Buddhist doctrine. Series of these paintings dating from the Yuan or early Ming periods, made in Ningbo in Zhejiang province, were exported to Japan.
