Untitled

Kawanabe Kyōsai 河鍋暁斎

late 19th century · Ink on paper · Asian Art

The sketches here show Japanese such as Daikoku and Urashima Tarō and images of Chinese immortals or figure of the Twenty-Four Paragons of Filial Piety. Though long attributed to Kyōsai, these sketches do not seem to be in hand of the master, and could have been created by a late nineteenth Kano artist of the day.
