About It Jakuch
- Ito Jakuchu (?? ??, 2 March 1716 – 27 October 1800) was a Japanese painter of the mid-Edo period when Japan had closed its doors to the outside world.
- Many of his paintings concern traditionally Japanese subjects, particularly chickens and other birds.
- Many of his otherwise traditional works display a great degree of experimentation with perspective, and with other very modern stylistic elements. Compared to Soga Shohaku and other exemplars of the mid-Edo period eccentric painters, Jakuchu is said to have been very calm, restrained, and professional.
- He held strong ties to Zen Buddhist ideals, and was considered a lay brother (koji); but he was also keenly aware of his role within a Kyoto society that was becoming increasingly commercial.
