Tsuruoka Kakunen was a Japanese artist who moved to California during the early 20th century. He was well-known for his Japanese-style paintings. Around the mid-1930's when interest in shin hanga was at its peak, Kakunen designed 4 woodblock prints and had them published in Japan
During World War II, Kakunen, along with thousands of other Japanese-Americans, was interned by the US government. He was incarcerated at the Poston, Arizona camp where he painted haunting images of the surrounding desert. Sometime after this experience, he and his family moved to New York City and started an art and antiques business.
This painting exemplifies Kakunen's ability to utilize a variety of brush techniques. On the one hand he could produce highly detailed paintings of birds (a subject beyond the capabilities of many artists), and on the other hand he was able to let go and convey an evocative and moody landscape by combining subtle washes of color and a minimum of confident brushstrokes.
