Description

At a wooden gate beneath a gnarled pine, an elegantly dressed figure pauses in the act of turning away – a quiet moment of parting, captured with reserved yet expressive brushwork. The vivid red of the robe stands out warmly against the muted architecture.

Genre scenes such as this, drawn from courtly or literary settings, belong to the popular pictorial themes of classical painting, capturing everyday yet emotionally charged moments. Created in the Shôwa period (1926–1989) on paper, the work impresses with its fine attention to detail in architecture and clothing.

The wooden jikusaki rounds off the classical mounting of the hanging scroll harmoniously. A narrative kakemono full of quiet poetry for lovers of traditional Japanese genre painting.

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?.
