From the Minneapolis Institute of Art record
Maruyama Ōkyo founded the Maruyama school of art and based his works on direct observation of nature, giving them a distinct realism. Ōkyo’s keen eye is obvious in the firm grip of the monkey’s paws and the wrinkles around the monkey’s eyes, which gives an intensity to its gaze. Japan, Asia
