Description

A powerfully rendered character with an accompanying seal fills this hanging scroll and carries the meaning "spring wind" – an image that evokes movement and mood more than a specific season.

The brushwork alternates between broad, dense areas and faster, thinner lines, giving the character itself something drifting and animated that corresponds to the image's theme. The term "spring wind" often stands in Japanese poetry for a gentle, renewing influence that announces change and new growth without being intrusive.

As a single, powerful character, this calligraphy hanging scroll is well suited to a sparsely furnished room, where the art of calligraphy is meant to speak for itself.

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?.
