Description

Beneath dense, summer-green foliage crouches a thatched farmhouse, while a small figure with a bundle of brushwood on its back walks along the path in front of it. The soft tones of green, ochre, and brown, blurred in watercolor manner, create a warm, hazy summer atmosphere.

Such rural genre scenes were highly popular in Japanese painting, as they idealize simple, nature-bound country life and offer the viewer a nostalgic place of retreat. The tall reed stalks at the right edge of the image and the hazy background reinforce the impression of a quiet summer day.

The painting bears the signature and seal of Hayashi Fumito and was created in the Shôwa period. Painted on paper and fitted with a jikusaki made of bone, this hand-painted unique work is an atmospheric, warm-hearted depiction of landscape.

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 Hayashi Fumito

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?.
