Description

In a calm, natural setting, this kakemono, Azaleas and Fish at a Waterfall, shows the grace of a river course in which lively fish swim beneath a branch of delicate azaleas. The harmonious combination of the soft pink tones of the blossoms and the clear lines of the waterfall brings the charm and serenity of the Japanese landscape directly into your home.

The work, painted on fine silk, is by the artist Fukada Chokushiro and is completed by the jikusaki of ceramics, which lends the traditional artwork a special touch. This kakemono is delivered in a signed wooden box that protects the work and underscores its value.

An authentic piece of Japanese art that captivates not only through the depth of its composition but also through its skillful execution. Ideal for collectors and connoisseurs who appreciate the essence of Japanese nature and aesthetics.

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?.
