Description

Several gnarled, towering pines cling to rugged rock outcrops, while a small waterfall cascades into the depths below – a dramatic, powerful scene of nature full of movement and tension.

The strong, expressive brushwork of the twisting branches and rugged rock formations attests to great painterly skill, while an extensive calligraphic inscription along the upper edge of the image lends the work additional literary depth. Painted on silk, this kakemono was created in the Shôwa period (1926–1989).

The wooden jikusaki rounds off the classic mounting harmoniously. An expressive hanging scroll for collectors who appreciate powerful mountain landscapes in Japanese ink 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?.
