This lisiting is for a copy of:
Ito Jakuchu - Plants and Animal Scrolls

A hard-to-find reference book for the work of Jakucho. Some damage to the corners of the hardcover (see photos).

From the introduction:
If we consider Jakucho's decision to concentrate on his painting career and his conversion to Buddhism in our study of his production of the Plants and Animal Scrolls, we can see his pure sense of reverence for the living things depicted in the scrolls, We can also see the great influence of Daiten the background of Jakucho's expression of this sense of a soul-filled, vital quality. The flowers, birds, bugs and fish depicted in the Plants and Animal Scrolls include the very form of the artist himself, and there is the sense that all of the living things of this world praise the Buddha.
