Artist
Saien Hōsai
Saien Hōsai is a Baroque artist. 2 works are cataloged here, principally at Metropolitan Museum of Art, most of them ink works.
Saien Hōsai painted delicate ink-on-paper scrolls in eighteenth-century Japan. Two hanging scrolls survive: *Pheasant beneath Paulownia Tree* shows a pheasant beside broad leaves, and *Mynah Bird on Plum Branch* captures a bird on a flowering branch. Both use soft ink washes and fine lines to balance realism with calm decoration. Curious about how these quiet ink birds connect to the wider art of their time?
