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.
Murakami Kagaku / Mottled cow
Kagaku was selected for the 9th Bunten in 1915, and often painted pictures of oxen plowing during this time of year.
Omura Taiun / Rice plants and a Sparrow
A song of a sparrow chirping beside the drooping ears of rice. It seems that people and sparrows alike are in the same spirit of welcoming the harvest season.
Fukuda Heihachiro / Puppies
This was painted in 1925 when Heihachiro was 33 years old. You can almost hear the breathing of the two sleeping puppies.
Hashimoto Gaho / Baby leopard on a Tiger
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.
Imao Keinen / Frog on a broken hat
A frog standing on a broken Kasa (hat). The work was a fresh depiction of an ordinary scene. The spatial composition using only ink is superb.
Sano Kosui / Small bird with plum blossoms
A bluebird intently pecks at plum blossoms swaying in the early spring breeze. This flower-and-bird painting evokes a sense of freshness.

Kano Hogai / Chrysanthemum and butterfly
The minimalist brushstrokes create a splendid space. The box is inscribed by Honda Tenjyo, a Japanese painter who studied under Kano Hogai.
Nishimura Goun / Millet quail
A quail takes flight from a millet field nearing harvest. The contrast between the bold brushstrokes of the millet and the detailed drawing of the quail is striking.
Kawabata Gyokusho / Departing wild geese and arriving swallows
The wild geese leave for the north, replacing the swallows that arrive in Japan. This is a scene that symbolizes spring.
