Japan has a long and rich tradition of using animal imagery in
works of art. A Brush with Animals. Japanese Painting
1700-1950 gives an overview of Japanese animal painting,
covering some 250 years, with an emphasis on works by
artists of the naturalistic Shijô School. It illustrates the
wonderful variety of animals that figure in Japanese
iconography, including the 12 animals of the zodiac and many
mythological creatures. The reader is thus taken on a tour
through the animal kingdom, which is profusely illustrated with
no less than 300 colour images. A selection of essays
explains in great detail the stories and legends behind the
animal imagery and provides background information on the
practical aspects and social context of Japanese hanging
scroll paintings. A useful tool for the collector and a delight for
anyone sensitive to the beauty of Japanese art.
A Brush with Animals was selected from collections of
members of the Society for Japanese Arts (private and
museum collections), to commemorate the 70th anniversary of
the Society. Many of the paintings are published here for the
first time
