We are pleased to present a truly valuable masterpiece from his mature and youthful period. ■ "Double Chickens and Bean Flowers" is a representative work of his later years, meticulously and intricately depicting the overflowing sense of life. Beneath the branches of kidney beans with lovely flowers and pods, a rooster facing forward and a hen snuggling up to it. The chickens are depicted as a pair, a lucky painting for marital harmony. Each feather with its beautiful luster has a rich texture, and the contrast between the black and white of the rooster's tail feathers, and the bright red comb and pure white hen is also truly magnificent. This is Jakuchū's forte, who was most skilled at depicting chickens. Based on Jakuchū's original painting, Mr. Keizō Saji, the carver, made 39 impressions from 12 blocks. This is a valuable hand-carved woodblock print specially produced in a limited edition of 150, using woodblocks carved in the late Edo period, treasured by the long-established Kyoto publisher Unsōdō. A rare masterpiece of a hanging scroll that enhances the status of your family and brings prosperity. It is also ideal as a tea hanging scroll to enhance the tea ceremony. Everything in the photos is included. Overall, it is clean with no noticeable scratches or stains.
