Lotus Root and Rat
Shibata Zeshin was a successful lacquerer and print designer, as well as a painter. Here he created a simple, yet refined composition, with the tiny figure of the rat on the large lotus root. The animal’s fur is rendered with subtle brushwork, which like the colours and texture of the lotus root, was applied while the paper was still wet.
