Description

Gentle hills and a calmly flowing stream determine the composition of this kakemono, while blossoming cherry trees and gnarled pines frame the scenery at the edge of the image. The restrained color palette in beige and brown tones creates a quiet, meditative atmosphere, as is typical for nocturnal landscapes.

The hanging scroll was created in the Shôwa period, hand-painted on silk, the jikusaki is made of bone. The work is delivered in a specially matching wooden box that keeps it safely stored.

Landscape paintings in moonlight are among the classic themes of Japanese art and stand for tranquility, contemplation, and the close connection between man and nature. This atmospheric kakemono is particularly suited for lovers of traditional landscape depictions who appreciate a calm, poetic atmosphere in their home.

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?.
