nakabayashi chikutō (1776 – 1853)
Explore the Nanga paintings of Nakabayashi Chikutō (1776-1853), a Japanese artist known for his Chinese-style landscapes & figures. Discover his legacy through art and literature.
The characteristic decorative quality of Chikutō"s painting is amply evident here in the rhythmic arrangement of the herons, boldly framed by their snowy perch. The stark black-and-white contrasts and the repetitive patterns of horizontal washes that define the white forms of the birds and branches further contribute to an effect of graphic elegance. Chikutō, born a doctor"s son in Nagoya, moved in 1815 to Kyoto, where he joined the circle of the nanga artist Rai Sanyō (1780–1832).
