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."

Phoenix in the Rising Sun

• "Phoenix in the Rising Sun" is a hanging scroll created by Ito Jakuchu in 1755, depicting a phoenix dancing against the backdrop of a rising sun. Jakuchu's intricate depictions of the feathers' patterns and colors accentuate the phoenix's vibrant appearance. The rising sun in the background creates a mystical atmosphere, further emphasizing the phoenix's presence.
