Early Modern Painting

Cocks and Hens

by Ito Jakuchu

  • Japan, Edo Period, dated 1790
  • From a set of nine panels; ink on paper
  • Floor panels : (Each) H. 179.5 cm, W. 108.0 cm
  • Sliding door panels : (Each) H. 175.2 cm, W. 86.5 cm
  • Wall panels : H. 179.3 cm, W. 176.8 cm
  • Sliding door panels : (Each) H. 174.8 cm,  90.7 cm
  • Kyoto National Museum (AK355)

These paintings by Ito Jakuchu (1716 - 1800) were made for the Hojo Hall of Kaiho-ji Zen Temple (Obaku sect) in Fushimi, Kyoto.

Including the few panels that are missing today, the length of this set of paintings as a whole was about ten meters, even longer than another set of paintings by Jakuchu from Saifuku-ji Temple in Osaka. Both sets of paintings are both of the same subject and were painted in the same year, 1790. However, while the Saifuku-ji set is done in color on gold leaf, this set is in ink on white paper.

This set of panels is a quintessential mature masterpiece of Ito Jakuchu.
