Description

A cherry tree branch densely covered in blossoms, its boughs tracing fine, sweeping lines across the entire width of the image – a classic motif for the Japanese spring. The individual blossoms are rendered with delicate contour lines and luminous touches of color in white, yellow, and soft pink, while dark ink accents at the branch forks and bud bases lend structure to the composition. The fine, light green lines running between the branches suggest additional young shoots or tendrils, reinforcing the impression of freshness and emerging growth.

Sakura is regarded as the quintessential Japanese national symbol, representing the beauty of the fleeting moment – an image especially valued during cherry blossom season or as a lasting reminder of spring.

Frequently asked

When was the work created?

Based on the previous owners' information and the condition of the object we place it broadly in the Shôwa (1926–1989) period, but cannot give a precise date.

Is this genuine craftsmanship?

Yes, this piece is a genuine handcrafted original that exists only once.

Why does the date of creation sometimes not match the artist's dates

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?.
