2 Shibata Zeshin works

Here's an example of the same master as a painter and a sculptor.
Both of these were parts of doors originally.



Notice the similar tones and use of grays without the grays being the least bit dull or "neutral"
the strong lines of branches sticks and grasses, solid blacks creating depth, and the simplicity of the subjects, poetic yet common, and ... and ... look if I was a multi-millionaire I'ld definitely be collecting Zeshin.
