Description

This atmospheric kakemono from the Meiji period depicts a tranquil mountain landscape in which a pagoda lies hidden among trees. The soft, flowing brushstrokes lend the scene a gentle and peaceful atmosphere. The expansive space and subtle color palette give the image a soothing depth, while a single bird flying across the landscape brings the picture to life.

The artwork is painted on fine paper and features a jikusaki made of wood, which underscores the traditional style of the piece. The delicate calligraphy in the upper part of the image adds a poetic dimension to the work and rounds off the composition harmoniously.

This kakemono is a classic example of the connection to nature found in Japanese art and is excellently suited for collectors and lovers of Japanese landscape painting. It brings a quiet elegance and serenity into any room.

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?.
