Description

In harmonious elegance, this impressive Japanese kakemono captures the atmospheric beauty of an autumn mountain landscape. The delicate color nuances, ranging from soft blue tones to vivid red tones of the autumn foliage, create a scenery that is both calm and invigorating. The waterfall, rendered in fine lines, symbolizes purity and movement and gives the landscape its dynamic center.

Painted on paper, the image captivates with its detailed yet restrained depiction of nature. The fine brushwork with which the trees, the waterfall, and the hills were painted illustrates the high craftsmanship of the unknown master. The work is stylishly complemented by high-quality jikusaki made of bone, which lend the kakemono an additional, timeless value.

Ideal for spaces where harmony, naturalness, and inner calm are valued, this kakemono invites one to pause for a moment and let the subtle beauty of Japanese landscape painting from the Meiji era take effect. An authentic unique work that equally delights and inspires collectors as well as lovers of Japanese culture.

Frequently asked

No – as a one-of-a-kind piece it exists in a single example only.
We would be glad to look for one. Get in touch with the details of the object you are looking for and we will see what we can do.
Because the two pieces of information speak about different things: the period designation describes the object – support, colors, condition – while the signature reflects which name appears on the painting. In most cases there is no attempt at deception behind this, but rather Japanese painting training: copying from workshop models was the curriculum for centuries, an utsushi is regarded as a bow to the teacher, workshops signed with the master's name, and artist names were passed down within a school. Such a hanging scroll is therefore not a forgery, but a hand-painted one-of-a-kind that continues the formal language of its school – just not the work of the famous name, and priced accordingly. We explain this in detail in the guide Why does a kakemono often bear the signature of an artist long deceased?.
