Description

A small, plump puppy sits playfully on a meadow, its head tilted slightly, gazing curiously into the distance. In the background, a large, rosy evening sun glows softly over gentle hills, and a single pine tree rises slender, its needles finely rendered. On the ground, a few dark leaves and delicate grasses surround the scene, lending the whole a warm, homely atmosphere. The composition radiates childlike innocence and the quiet beauty of a still evening.

Painted on paper, the unique work displays a gentle palette of warm browns, grays, and pinks that make the puppy's furry body appear soft and lively. The jikusaki made of wood frame the picture in a traditional and natural way. This hand-painted piece brings a playful, soothing note to any room and appeals especially to lovers of Japanese animal depictions who value fine brushwork and a heartfelt, poetic expression.

Frequently asked

Does this piece come with a wooden box (Tomobako)?

Yes, this work is delivered with a wooden box.

When was the work created?

Based on the previous owners' information and the condition of the object we place it broadly in the Shôwa (1926–1989) period, but cannot give a precise date.

Is this genuine craftsmanship?

Yes, this piece is a genuine handcrafted original that exists only once.

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?.
