Untitled is a 7 ink by Ichiryūsai Yoshitoyo, a Impressionism work, depicting Rooster, held at Metropolitan Museum of Art.
This print shows a tiger mid-leap, its fur made of tiny dots and lines in gold and black. A rooster lies dead on the ground, its feathers bright red and yellow. Behind them, a bamboo screen and red curtain frame the scene, while a scroll with writing hangs on the wall. The tiger’s fur is filled with tiny dots—this is a trick to make it look real. The rooster’s pose suggests it was caught by surprise. Next, look up cross-hatching to see how artists use lines to create texture.
