Description

A delicate mist envelops the gentle hills of this picturesque landscape from the Showa period. Painted with sensitive brushstrokes on silk, the artist depicts a poetic scenery that conveys calm and contemplation.

A wanderer strolls leisurely across the hills, while high above him a flock of birds passes across the sky, further intensifying the vast, quiet atmosphere. In the foreground, a small stream winds its way through moss-covered rocks and lush grasses, whose gentle coloring emphasizes the harmonious unity of the image.

With its earthy tones and delicate details, the work invites contemplation and lends any room a peaceful note. This unique composition is completed by high-quality jikusaki made of wood, which underscore the traditional Japanese flair of the painting.

A true collector's item for lovers of Asian art and all those who wish to enrich their everyday lives with a touch of Japanese aesthetics.

Frequently asked

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