Shibata Zeshin is one of the great 19th-century Japanese masters. However, the artist garnered fame for his paintings, attributed to the objective realism of the Shijō school. In a playful, often humorous way, Shibata Zeshin also brought native landscapes, birds, flowers and animals to life on paper. The paintings radiate a special poetic elegance on canvas or wood.
