Kōno Bairei (1844-1895) is a major figure in Japanese painting of the Meiji era. Known for his albums of bird and flower illustrations (kacho-ga), his work also extends to the study of other animals. This plate bears witness to his both scientific and artistic approach, aiming to capture the essence of each creature with a delicate and expert stroke.

The turtle, a symbol of longevity and stability, makes this reproduction an elegant and meaningful decorative piece, ideal for a workspace or meditation room.
