Yamamoto Jin Shoten Double Gauze Hand Towel with Flock of Chickens Design [5025]

A soft, double-layered gauze tenugui (Japanese hand towel). The illustration is by Ito Jakuchu. This ink painting was originally displayed in the abbot's quarters of Kaihoji Temple in Fushimi, Kyoto. While it depicts chickens, a subject Jakuchu excelled at, it lacks the refined detail of his famous imperial chicken paintings. Instead, it showcases powerful brushwork that is noteworthy. Based on its style, it is likely a work from his later years. Size: Approximately 32 x 89 cm Material: 100% cotton Country of origin: Japan
