Description

This ink painting panorama of a bustling river mouth was created during the Shôwa period; along its banks, villages and houses nestle between rugged cliffs and dense vegetation. Numerous boats and junks populate the water, while gentle mountain ranges blur into the haze in the background.

The composition follows the tradition of Sansui landscape painting, in which expanse and depth are created through skillfully placed veils of mist. Fine details such as individual roofs, trees, and watercraft attest to the painter's keen powers of observation.

Painted on paper and fitted with a jikusaki made of bone, this kakemono combines artistic finesse with a high-quality classical mounting. An evocative landscape depiction for lovers of traditional East Asian 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?.
