Shibata Zeshin was widely regarded for his mastery of painting with lacquer on silk and paper, a unique and difficult technique that gave an appealing luster to his images. Here, a dog barks at a monkey sitting on the shoulder of its trainer. Keeping monkeys as pets, and training them to entertain people, was once popular in Japan.
