Kōichi Takeuchi ”The Fox” At the center of the composition stands a fox, depicted with dignified presence. Its posture, facing to the right, and its piercing gaze invite viewers to imagine what lies beyond its sight.
The fur and whiskers are delicately rendered: over a thinly painted ground, fine ink lines are layered one by one with precision and tension, capturing a sense of softness. The tail, built up with fine white strokes, conveys a rich texture, while the subtle use of pale blue in the shaded areas of the ears adds depth and expressive richness.
Takeuchi’s animal paintings are notable not only for their refined technique, but also for his keen observation and expressive power, which here vividly convey the fox’s dignified presence and living spirit.
