The vibrant colours used in this print bring life to the feathers of the rooster, showcasing its regal presence. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, as each feather seems to come alive on the page. The weasel, on the other hand, exudes a sense of stealth and mischief with its sly gaze and poised stance. Published by Kawaguchi JirAc. , this artwork measures 33.1 x 23.8 cm (image) and 37.2 x 27 cm (sheet), making it a compact yet impactful piece that can easily be admired up close or from afar. Gifted to the Minneapolis Institute of Arts by Paul Schweitzer, this print holds historical significance as it represents traditional Japanese artistry during the Showa era. Its portrayal of conflict and clash serves as a reminder of nature's constant battles for survival. Overall, "Rooster and Weasel" is not just an exquisite example of Asian art but also an intriguing depiction that invites viewers into a world where animals engage in their own fierce struggles for dominance.
