A collection of scroll paintings by the Japanese master Ito Jakuchu (1716-1800), celebrating the artist's tercentenary. This is the official exhibition catalogue of 'Jakuchu: The 300th Anniversary of his Birth, an exhibition held at Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum'. Jakuchu painted many beautiful and vivid images of animals and plants using a delicate painting style, as well as ink paintings with spontaneous brushstrokes and humorous expressions.
