* Ito Jakuchu / National Treasure "Old Pine and White Phoenix" Clear file with 2 pockets I purchased this at an exhibition at the Museum of the Imperial Collections, Sannomaru Shozokan. This is one of the 30 paintings in the "Colorful Realm of Living Beings" series, and is considered one of his masterpieces. It is as beautiful as a jewel, and I never tire of looking at it. About the National Treasure "Old Pine and White Phoenix" To emphasize the whiteness of the phoenix, a technique called "back-painting" is used, where ocher and gofun (white pigment made from oyster shells) are applied to the back of the silk. The base color shows through the white feathers painted on the surface, creating a dazzling luster and three-dimensional effect. * 22cm x 16cm With dividers, can hold two items. * Although it has not been used, there are slight scratches from storage, visible when reflected in the light.
