Description

This atmospheric kakemono from the Meiji period shows a delicate depiction of grasses and flowers shimmering softly in the light of the moon. The sensitive use of tones and the subtle composition convey a calm, almost meditative atmosphere. The moonlit landscape, combined with the filigree grasses, captures the quiet beauty of nature at night and invites the viewer to enter into the harmony of the scene.

The work was painted on paper and bears the stamp of the artist Shodo. The jikusaki made of wood completes the traditional appearance of this kakemono and emphasizes the simplicity and elegance of the piece.

This work of art is an excellent example of the refinement and closeness to nature of Japanese painting in the Meiji period. It brings a gentle, peaceful atmosphere to any room and is ideally suited for collectors and lovers of Japanese art.

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?.
