Description

In delicate shades of gray and sepia, a mountain landscape unfolds, its gnarled pine branches pressing against rugged rock formations. The ink painting on silk relies on fine washes that suggest both mist and distance, while in the foreground a small grazing animal enlivens the scene.

The composition follows the classical Chinese-Japanese tradition of landscape painting, in which empty spaces convey as much as the painted elements – an art of suggestion that invites contemplation. The mounting features axis ends made of bone, a detail that underscores the care taken in the original craftsmanship.

Created in the Shôwa period, this hanging scroll continues the centuries-old tradition of mountain landscape painting and makes an excellent, quiet, meditative focal point in a living room or study.

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?.
