Hashimoto Gaho / Wild cows
It has the atmosphere of a truly modern Japanese painting, incorporating the perspective technique of Western painting. You can feel the so much distance of the landscape.
Abe Masayoshi / Bamboo and tiger
Tigers have been a popular subject for painting since ancient times due to their fierce appearance, and in Japan they were favored by samurais and Zen monks especially from the Muromachi period onwards.
Kano Hogai / Tiger in a bamboo forest
A cute tiger seems to be shrugging its head under a bamboo grove swaying in the wind. Although the work follows the Kano school of tigers, it is fun to look at its humorous appearance without being scary.

Kagaku was selected for the 9th Bunten exhibition in 1915, and often painted pictures of oxen plowing a field around that time.

This was painted in 1925 when Heihachiro was 33 years old. You can almost hear the breathing of the two sleeping puppies.

A leopard frolicking by the water, riding on the back of a tiger. In ancient times, leopards were considered to be female tigers. This is an attractive work with humorous expressions.
