Ikei Shūtoku 惟馨周徳
Ikei Shūtoku 惟馨周徳 is an Ukiyo-e artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
A 19th-century painter working in ink on paper, Ikei Shūtoku made hanging scrolls that depict scenes from daily life and folklore. One of his works in this bundle shows Hotei, the plump, smiling deity, pausing to admire the moon, Tsukimi Hotei zu. The image belongs to a quiet tradition of figure painting that valued simplicity over detail.
If you like the blend of humor and stillness in that scroll, tap to see the brushwork in another of Shūtoku’s scrolls of playful monks.
