Peonies and Butterflies (J. Shakuyaku gunchō zu) by Itō Jakuchū, c. 1757 (Hōreki 7) ink and color on silk, from Colorful Realm of Living Beings (J. Dōshoku sai-e), set of 30 vertical hanging scrolls, c. 1757–1766
All thirty scrolls are on display at the National Gallery of Art until 29 April, the first time the entire set has ever been displayed outside Japan.  If you’re in the area, go.  As the New York Times review said:  one of the most beautiful exhibitions I have ever seen.
