Description

Rendered in delicate tones of pink and cream, a large sun rises above a gently undulating sea, its wave crests breaking into fine lines along the lower edge of the composition. The rising sun is one of Japan's central symbols of good fortune, representing new beginnings, strength, and a favorable omen – a motif traditionally displayed in Japanese homes at the turn of the year.

The reduced, almost minimalist visual language leaves ample room for the interplay of light and water, while the restrained color palette creates a warm, calming atmosphere. An artist's signature with a red seal in the lower section points to its origin in the Hida-Takayama region.

Painted on silk with roller ends made of bone, the work was created during the Shôwa period and impresses with its quiet, meditative effect. A hanging scroll whose clear symbolism and calm composition make it especially versatile.

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?.
