Oyakōkō: Love for One's Parents is a 1750 unspecified by Hakuin Ekaku, a Nihonga work, held at Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
This painting features a large, dark grey brushstroke on the right side, with a lighter grey, more transparent brushstroke on the left. The background is a light beige color. The dark grey brushstroke is bold and expressive, with visible texture from the brush. The lighter grey brushstroke is more delicate, with a softer, more subtle quality. The overall effect is one of contrast and balance, with the bold, dark brushstroke balanced by the softer, lighter one. The painting is a great example of the artist's skill with brushwork and composition.
