Ito Jakuchu

• Ito Jakuchu (1716–1800) was a painter from the mid-Edo period who is known for his original paintings of flowers and birds, using vivid colors and detailed depictions. Born into a merchant family in Kyoto, he retired at the age of 40 to devote himself to painting. His works are characterized by their vivid depictions of plants and animals, such as his masterpiece "Dobutsusai-e."

• A part of "Dobutsusai-e" (Colorful Pictures of Animals and Plants). This work depicts hydrangea flowers and two chickens. The colors are vivid, and the ingenious use of color on the back gives it a sense of depth. Jakuchu's detailed brushwork and unique use of color stand out, and the composition is full of vitality, making this an impressive work.
