Kitamuki Unchiku

Kitamuki Unchiku is an Ukiyo-e artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Los Angeles County Museum of Art.

This artist’s brush brought ink-washed tigers and dragons to life in the 17th century. One scroll shows a coiled dragon clawing through cloudy peaks, another tracks a striped tiger pacing beside a pine. The works sit in the same quiet, ink-on-paper tradition used by earlier monk-painters to show raw energy and balance. Tap “Dragon and Tiger” to trace the brushstrokes side by side.
