In New Horizons

As with all artwork in Animal Crossing: New Horizons, the wild painting was added in the 1.2.0 April Free Update. They were split into two halves, each of which are sold separately at Jolly Redd's Treasure Trawler. Despite being labeled a painting in-game, both halves are treated as statues in the game's code, and consequently can occasionally be sent to the player in the mail by cranky villagers (who, like lazy, jock, and smug villagers, can mail the player art, but will only send statues).

Museum description	This folding screen shows dynamic brushwork of Fūjin and Raijin on a gold-leaf background. It is thought to be the masterpiece of Tawaraya Sōtatsu, an early-Edo- period artist. The simplification of the subjects is a style that was carried on by Ogata Kōrin. It's a style still in use today in the Rinpa school of Japanese painting.
