OSUSUME OF THE WEEK: Jakuchu Ito Doshoku Saie (Flora and Fauna)

If you were asked to imagine a work by Jakuchu, the first thing that would come to mind would probably be a work with chickens.

Jakuchu, who retired at the age of 40, kept dozens of chickens in the garden of his house. He carefully observed them, sketched them, and taught himself the style and techniques of painting.
