"Grasshopper and Wheat" is a notable work by Shibata Zeshin (1807–1891), a prominent Japanese artist renowned for his mastery in lacquerwork and painting during the late Edo and early Meiji periods. This piece exemplifies Zeshin's artistic versatility and his ability to infuse traditional Japanese art with innovative techniques and a unique aesthetic vision.

The artwork depicts a solitary grasshopper perched atop blades of wheat, rendered with meticulous attention to detail and a profound sense of naturalism. Zeshin's choice of subject matter reflects the influence of Japanese literary and artistic traditions, where insects and plants are often imbued with symbolic meanings. In this context, the grasshopper might represent the fleeting nature of life or the arrival of autumn, a common theme in Japanese poetry and art.

"Grasshopper and Wheat" showcases Zeshin's skillful use of tarashikomi, a technique where a second layer of paint is applied before the first has dried, resulting in a dripping or pooling effect that adds depth and texture to the image. His work often blurs the line between painting and lacquer art, as he was known to incorporate lacquer techniques into his paintings, giving them a distinctive luster and durability.

As a piece that captures the essence of Japanese aesthetics and the artist's innovative approach to traditional art forms, "Grasshopper and Wheat" is a testament to Shibata Zeshin's legacy as one of the most influential and accomplished artists of his time. The artwork remains an important part of Zeshin's oeuvre and continues to be studied and admired for its artistic significance and beauty.
