Description

A single raftsman stands on a long wooden raft, quietly poling through the water of a river that winds through a vast, mist-shrouded landscape. In the background, wooded mountains rise, partially disappearing into dense clouds and haze, while lush white and pink blossoming trees line the riverbank, lending the scene a fresh, vivid note. The composition conveys a sense of expanse, stillness, and harmonious unity between man and nature.

The work bears the signature and seal of Haneda Getsushu. Painted on silk, it unfolds a fine, nuanced palette with gentle gray and blue tones for the river and mountains, as well as delicate white and pink tones for the blossoms. The subtle ink gradations create a deep spatial effect and an almost dreamlike atmosphere.

The wooden jikusaki frame the piece in a traditional, warm manner. It comes with a signed wooden box. This hand-painted unique work brings a calm, poetic landscape mood into any room and is especially suited for lovers of Japanese nature painting who value atmospheric depth and a meditative aura.

Frequently asked

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

Yes, this work is delivered with a wooden box.

Does this work carry a seal or signature?

Yes, this piece carries the signature or seal of Haneda Getsushu

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?.
