UNCLE HAYATO'S ART CORNER (Sort of) WITH SOME HELP FROM THE CATKIDS
UNCLE HAYATO'S ART CORNER (with a little help from Mr. Nekojin who is still in "Basho-mode" and his catkids). Humor goes a long way in making a work of art, as demonstrated by Zeshin Shibata's rendering of a singing frog, who strums an instrument as his froggie friends sing along. From an album titled Bokurin Hikka, this is a fine example of the unusual urushi-e technique of painting with lacquer, which Zeshin (1807-91) invented.
