Description
A touch of poetic elegance defines this unique Japanese kakemono by the artist Nishioka Seizan from the Showa era. With masterful precision, flowers of the four seasons have been immortalized here on the finest silk, flowing into one another in delicate harmony. The detailed depiction of the peony, the gentle accents of the chrysanthemums, and the filigree fragrance of white plum blossoms combine into a timeless composition that radiates calm and grace. The elegant jikusaki, made of wood, complement the authentic aesthetic of this artwork. Whether as an eye-catcher in the living area or as a meditative element in the tea room or a room of rest: this exquisite unique work promises to enrich your rooms with Japanese tradition and timeless beauty.
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?.
