Description

This exquisite Japanese hanging scroll invites you to immerse yourself in a quiet, peaceful landscape. The hand-painted artwork shows a gentle river landscape with fine details – an abandoned rowboat resting on the water, and a tree whose delicate branches underscore the gentle atmosphere. The artist Sano Mitsuho, whose stamp signs the work, masterfully brings out the delicate balance between calm and movement.

The painting, executed on high-quality Japanese paper, is fitted with a plain yet elegant wooden jikusaki that underscores the traditional aesthetic of this unique work. A true masterpiece for collectors and lovers of Japanese art, reflecting the spirit and beauty of the Meiji period in every detail.

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?.
