Description

This artwork from the Showa period shows Buddha in Meditation in a meditative posture on a rocky outcrop. The delicate brushwork and subtle shading on paper impressively bring out the calm and spiritual atmosphere.

The minimalist depiction underscores the essence of harmony and serenity, while the clear design directs the focus onto the Buddha. This valuable kakemono is excellently suited for meditation and spiritual inspiration. A work that unites Japanese art and Buddhist philosophy.

Frequently asked

I am interested in this work. Do you have more of them in stock?

No – as a one-of-a-kind piece it exists in a single example only.

Can you source a similar work?

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.

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?.
