"Cock and Hen" is a notable work by Shiseki Sō Kankaku, a Japanese painter and poet active during the Edo period. Born in 1742 and passing away in 1815, Shiseki was known for his distinctive style that combined elements of Chinese literati painting with Japanese artistic sensibilities. "Cock and Hen" exemplifies his adeptness in ink wash painting, a technique that emphasizes the use of varying shades of black ink to create depth and nuance.

The painting depicts a rooster and a hen, subjects that are common in East Asian art, symbolizing good fortune, prosperity, and the yin-yang concept of balance. Shiseki's rendition of the birds is characterized by his fluid brushwork and the effective use of negative space, which is a hallmark of East Asian aesthetics. The composition of the painting, with the cock typically portrayed in a dominant, assertive posture and the hen in a more subdued stance, reflects the naturalistic observation of the animals' behavior and the traditional gender roles ascribed to them in cultural symbolism.

"Cock and Hen" is not only appreciated for its artistic merit but also for its cultural significance. It provides insight into the themes and motifs that were prevalent in Japanese art during the Edo period, as well as the cross-cultural influences between Japan and China. As a work of Shiseki Sō Kankaku, it contributes to the understanding of his personal style and the broader context of Edo period painting, where artists were increasingly exploring personal expression while adhering to classical themes.

The painting is considered an important piece in Shiseki's oeuvre and is studied for its technical execution as well as its place within the larger narrative of Japanese art history. It remains a valuable artifact for scholars and enthusiasts of Japanese culture and art, offering a window into the aesthetic and philosophical underpinnings of the time.
