- Title
- Zen eccentric contemplating a fish
- Artist
- Kanô Tsunenobu
- Physical Description
- A shabbily dressed figure holds out at arm’s length a small fish. He is completely focused on his catch, and his mouth almost seems to drool. The face, hands, and feet are sketched in a deliberately simplistic way, while the costume is drawn with only a few swift slashes of the brush, and the strokes bleed into each other.
