About the piece
Created by the renowned Kanō Tan'yū around 1650, this painting is a masterful example of the Edo-period Japanese ink tradition. The artist utilizes varying tones of grey and black ink to evoke the textures of feathers and foliage, using negative space to create a serene, meditative atmosphere.
