Lot Essay

Kokuho Shimei was active during the late Edo period (19th century) as a Nagasaki school artist. His style is an interesting mixture of various cultures – he took the Chinese literati style nanga and Korean Joseon period folk art minhwa as foundations and mixed them with Western techniques. His art demonstrates the cultural exchanges between Japan and other countries. Kokuho Shimei's another example of tiger painting is in the collection of Fukuoka City Museum.
