Description

The young lady in this finely crafted painting from the Showa period appears graceful and dreamlike. Created by the artist Murata Ikkei and painted on delicate silk, the image exudes an atmosphere of quiet elegance and calm.

Gently wrapped in an elaborate, richly detailed kimono, the woman holds a delicate vessel in her hands, while a fine white veil envelops her head. In her arm she carries a bouquet of fragrant flowers, symbolic of beauty and transience. The harmonious combination of pastel colors is both soothing and captivating.

The refined artwork is completed by high-quality jikusaki made of bone, lending the overall piece additional authenticity and value. An ideal piece for lovers of classical Japanese aesthetics, leaving a subtle yet lasting impression in your living or work space.

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?.
