Kawanabe Kyosui / A flock of crows flying over the sea
This work is beautiful in its contrast between the powerful flock of crows and the gentle water surface. The crows are so vigorous that you can almost hear the sound of their wings and the water surface is calm, bathed in the morning sun. It is a work of outstanding skill.

Kato Eishu / The tiger
Eishu specialized in painting flowers, birds and animals. His brushwork is soft, and you can feel his delicate gaze and warmth towards living creatures. This tiger is no different, and rather than being ferocious, it seems relaxed, as if it is yawning leisurely.

Kano Yasunobu / Tigers with bamboo
