Description

In quiet gray-brown tones, this river landscape extends across several pictorial planes, from rugged rock formations in the background to a small fishing boat drifting near the shore between willows and houses.

The dense calligraphic inscription at the top edge of the picture, with two red seals, points to a scholarly origin of the motif, while the painter brings the texture of rock and vegetation to life with loosely applied, partly dry brushstrokes. Created in the Shôwa period, the work is painted on paper.

River landscapes with fishing boats are among the classic themes of Sansui painting and stand symbolically for a secluded life lived in harmony with nature. With its calm visual language, this kakemono appeals especially to lovers of traditional 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?.
