“Crowing Rooster, Staring Rooster, and the Moon” Companion Chopsticks

In Jakuchū’s art, roosters are not depicted as mere barnyard creatures but as vibrant and powerful beings. This design shows two roosters turning toward one another with the moon placed between them—one crowing, the other staring back. The scene evokes not only the dynamism of nature but also the complexities of human relationships, as if the birds were mirroring human emotions and interactions.
