Ito Jakuchu in 1755 devote himself exclusively to Zen meditation and painting. He spent nearly a decade on the scrolls and once said that it would take 200 years for his works to be understood. Each of the 30 scrolls was very different from the next - a mix of peonies, butterflies, roosters, octopus, and fish. The detail just amazing!
