Description
Japanese Woodblock Print, 1930s published by the Shima Art Company
SIZE IN INCHES: 15 x 10 inches
PROVENANCE: From the Robert O. Muller estate.
ITO JAKUCHU (1716-1800) was a Japanese painter of the mid-Edo period when Japan had closed its doors to the outside world. Many of his paintings concern traditionally Japanese subjects, particularly chickens and other birds. Many of his otherwise traditional works display a great degree of experimentation with perspective, and with other very modern stylistic elements.
Compared to Soga ShÅhaku and other exemplars of the mid-Edo period eccentric painters, JakuchÅ« is said to have been very calm, restrained, and professional. He held strong ties to Zen Buddhist ideals, and was considered a lay brother (koji); but he was also keenly aware of his role within a Kyoto society that was becoming increasingly commercial.
