Wind God

"Wind God" (Kaze no Kami) is a notable work by the Japanese artist Kobayashi Eitaku, created during the Meiji period, which reflects the artist's engagement with traditional themes through a modern lens. The painting exemplifies Eitaku's mastery of color and form, contributing to the revival of ukiyo-e aesthetics while also influencing the perception of Japanese art in the context of Western modernism.

"Wind God" by Kobayashi Eitaku is a striking example of late 19th-century Japanese ukiyo-e, characterized by its dynamic composition and vibrant color palette. The painting features a powerful figure of the wind god, depicted with flowing garments and swirling winds, emphasizing movement and energy through intricate line work and bold contrasts.
