Shibata Zeshin (1807-1891)

Kamo Festival, a Japanese hanging scroll painting, Late Edo period / early Meiji era, about AD 1850-1900. An ox has been untethered from the cart it was drawing as part of the Aoi (Hollyhock) Festival of the Kamo Shrines in Kyoto. It lies on the ground resting beside its drivers, who wear the ceremonial robes of court servants. Hollyhock leaves, the symbol of the festival, have been placed in a paper decoration in the red ropes tied around the animal's head. This picture is done in a technique developed by Zeshin known as urushi-e (lacquer picture). The signature reads 'Zeshin'. The seal beneath reads 'Shin'. H: 320mm, W: 450mm. reg. no: AC 1928,0720,0.54.
