In this Japanese name, the surname is Itō.
Itō Jakuchū (伊藤 若冲, 2 March 1716 – 27 October 1800)[1] was a Japanese painter of the mid-Edo period when Japan had isolated itself from the outside world.
Many of his paintings concern traditionally Japanese subjects, particularly chickens and other birds. Many of his otherwise traditional works display a great degree of experimentation with perspective, and with other very modern stylistic elements.
His realistic style of painting made him very popular along with Maruyama Ōkyo, and he was listed as the second painter after Ōkyo in the second and third editions
