異端の絵師・曽我蕭白による「波濤鷲猿画幅」。
画面サイズ80×56cm、表具94×155cmの堂々たる構成に、荒れ狂う波間を舞う鷲と、猿が描かれています。墨の濃淡と筆勢が生む緊張感、幻想と野性が交錯する構図は、蕭白ならではの精神性と美意識を映し出します。

“Wave, Eagle, and Monkey” by the eccentric painter Soga Shōhaku.
With a commanding composition measuring 80 × 56 cm (painting) and 94 × 155 cm (mounting), the work depicts an eagle soaring amidst raging waves and a monkey below.
The interplay of ink gradations and vigorous brushstrokes generates palpable tension, while the fusion of fantasy and wildness reflects Shōhaku’s unique spirit and aesthetic vision.
