菊池芳文 Kikuchi Hobun (1862-1918)
Japanese painter of the Meiji and Taisho periods. Born in Osaka. Studied under Kono Bairei of the Shijo School and excelled in flower-and-bird painting. Professor at Kyoto College of Painting.
with signature and seal 'Hobun' 芳文
The brushwork moves with a light yet deliberate rhythm, shaping the playful gesture of the puppy chewing at the plants in a way that reflects Kikuchi Hobun’s refined command of the Shijo school’s naturalistic style, where softness of line and clarity of form coexist without strain; Hobun (1862–1918), born in Osaka and trained under Kono Bairei before later serving as a professor at the Kyoto College of Painting, became known for flower‑and‑bird compositions that balance charm with precision, and this scroll bears the signature and seal ‘Hobun,’ while it is accompanied by an appraised box inscribed by Kikuchi Keigetsu, allowing the gentle interplay of humor and careful observation to settle into a calm, enduring presence.
