Getting started with the collection:
Benkei
Migita Toshihide, 1880 - 1925
The placement of the figure and the artist’s signature in the otherwise blank field demonstrates the Shijo painters’ quest for expressive compositions. In so doing they intensified the subject: here the warrior-monk Benkei. Toshihide forcefully laid down this bold, powerful hero over the full width of the rectangular surface of the paper.
