Itō Jakuchū

Itō Jakuchū

▪ Japanese painter
also called  Jokin  
born March 2, 1716, Kyōto, Japan
died Oct. 27, 1800, Kyōto

      Japanese painter of the mid-Tokugawa period (1603–1867) who excelled in drawing flowers, fish, and birds, especially fowl, which he used to keep at his home in order to observe them closely.

      The son of a greengrocer, he first studied drawing with a painter of the Kanō school (stressing Chinese subject matter and techniques). He also made copies of old Chinese masters. He developed an amazingly realistic style and added to it decorative touches that he learned in part from the works of Ogata Kōrin (1658–1716). He made a set of 30 pictures for the Shōkoku Temple, entitled “Dōshokusai-e” (coloured pictures of animals and plants), which, along with “Gunkei zu fusumae” (screen painting of fowl), are his most famous works. He later became a recluse and assumed the name Tobeian (“Bushel Monk”). It is said that those who got his paintings gave him one to (approximately two bushels) of rice in return.
