The Art of Ogata Gekko

A friend send me this link to a website dedicated to Ogata Gekko (1859 - 1920), one of the first Japanese artists to be recognized internationally. The site is almost overwhelming in the examples of his handiwork.

The painting that accompanies this post is an example of his art.

    Yes, beautiful stuff.

    By the way, Zacky's blog, Gaijin Explorer, makes for a very interesting read. Please pay a visit.
