• Takeuchi Seihō (1864–1942) was a painter who contributed greatly to the innovation of Japanese painting. He combined traditional techniques with Western realism, and was known as a master of animal painting. His representative works include "Striped Cat," and he was awarded the Order of Culture in 1937.

• Created around 1939, Usagi is one of Takeuchi Seihō’s later works. Seihō kept rabbits at home and carefully observed and sketched their appearance and movements. In this painting, their soft fur and gentle expressions are rendered with keen observation and delicate brushwork. The restrained background and generous use of empty space bring the rabbits into focus, filling the composition with tranquility and warmth. The work reflects Seihō’s affectionate regard for animals and his remarkable ability to capture the quiet vitality of living creatures.

The work is printed on a Shin-ken-bon (High quality printing paper) using cutting-edge giclee printing techniques adopted by famous art museums around the world to produce replicas, and the final finish is hand-colored with complementary colors to create a realistic look. It is weather-resistant and not easily decomposed by light or ozone in the air, so the color tone is less likely to change over time and the beauty will not change.
