Description

This fascinating work of art by Noda Setsun, created in the Showa period, shows a masterful depiction of bamboo and sparrows. The subtle details on the silk emphasize the harmony between nature and life, while the warm coloring lends the motif a timeless elegance. The contrast between the delicate bamboo leaves and the dynamic movements of the birds reflects the vitality of nature.

The kakemono is fitted with a jikusaki made of wood and comes in a signed wooden box, underscoring its authenticity and collector's value. An exceptional work for connoisseurs of traditional Japanese 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?.
