Kyosai's Animal Circus
- Royal Academy (ACC)
- by Koto Sadamura
The Japanese artist Kawanabe Kyosai (1831–1889) delighted in the depiction of animals — auspicious crows, frogs in the schoolroom, rats on trapezes, catfish in procession, elephants performing tricks — and frequently used them as proxies for political figures of the day, to avoid censorship. This enchanting book reveals a cavalcade of Kyosai’s creatures from the Israel Goldman Collection, with an introduction to the artist and his menagerie by Koto Sadamura, a leading authority on Kyosai.
