Josetsu (如拙, fl. 1405–1496) was one of the first suiboku (ink wash) style Zen Japanese painters in the Muromachi Period (15th century). He was probably also a teacher of Tenshō Shūbun at the Shōkoku-ji monastery in Kyoto. A Chinese immigrant, he was naturalised in 1370 and is known as "the father of Japanese ink painting".

The best known of his paintings belongs to Taizō-in, a sub-temple of Myōshin-ji in Kyoto, which is entitled Catching a Catfish with a Gourd (c. 1413). It shows a comical-looking man fishing against a background of a winding river and a bamboo grove. It is thought to have been inspired by a riddle set by the Ashikaga shōgun, "How do you catch a catfish with a gourd?" It can be viewed as a piece of Zen humour, or as a kōan in visual form designed to provoke the viewer into new ways of "seeing". Josetsu was an amazing figure in ink painting at that period of time and also influenced many painters as well.

Taikō Josetsu (如拙, Taikō Josetsu?) fue uno de los primeros pintores de tinta monocroma (sumi-e) del Periodo Muromachi (siglo XV). Inmigrante chino, naturalizado en 1370, sirvió de puente entre los grandes pintores chinos de la Dinastía Song de Sur como Ma yuan, Xia Gui, Liang Kai o Mu Qi y el nuevo estilo que comienza a surgir en Japón, por lo que se le considera el padre de la pintura japonesa a tinta. Probablemente fue maestro del pintor Tenshō Shūbun en el monasterio Shokoku-ji en Kioto.
