Description

Stillness lies over this wintry scene: a farmhouse crouches beneath dense tree cover, while a single figure walks across a narrow bridge – the landscape entirely immersed in muted gray and beige tones.

The ink painting on paper relies on soft gradations and reserved blank areas to make both snow and mist palpable; only a few details, such as the branches of the trees or the roof of the house, are clearly outlined. The painting bears the signature and seal of Bunrin Shiokawa.

Dating from the Shôwa period, the kakemono is delivered including a separately signed wooden box. A quiet, poetic winter landscape that captures the quiet beauty of the cold season in classical Japanese manner.

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?.
