Shih-te was a T'ang dynasty monk of the T'ien-t'ai Buddhist sect who resided at the Kuo-ch'ing Temple. His name translates as "picked up" because he was adopted by his teacher, the Ch’an master Feng-kan. Along with Han-shan, he was said to be an amiable madman and he enjoyed fame for his poetry. Shih-te here is shown barefoot wearing a ragged monk's robe. Two gourds hang from his waist as he holds a broom. With his mouth open, he already seems enlightened. Besides the addition of white pigment, Shih-te's robes also reveal the "olive strokes" associated with the Yen Hui style; they start and end light but have thick centers.
