Description

Between towering bamboo stalks and gnarled trees, a small thatched-roof hut hides on the bank of a tranquil river – a scene that captures the longing for a simple life amid untouched nature and virtually invites the viewer to pause and rest.

In delicate gray and brown tones with occasional reddish accents in the distant hills, the painter unfolds a multilayered composition that extends from dense vegetation in the foreground to gently blurring mountain ranges on the horizon. The work dates from the Shôwa period, is painted on paper, and bears jikusaki ends made of plastic.

River landscapes with rural dwellings are among the timeless themes of sansui painting, as they emphasize the harmonious interplay of man and nature. This kakemono is excellently suited for anyone who appreciates a calm, narratively rich landscape depiction.

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?.
