Description

This fine kakemono from the Showa period captivates with its delicate depiction of chrysanthemums, which in Japan symbolize longevity and prosperity. The artful arrangement of the flowers, the gentle tones of color, and the subtle presence of a small bee integrated into the image lend the work a special depth and vividness.

Masterfully painted on traditional washi paper and signed by Seisho Moroboshi, this work of art attests to high craftsmanship and artistic finesse. The jikusaki made of bone complements the noble appearance of the kakemono and underscores its value as a collector's item.

This unique piece brings an atmosphere of natural beauty and harmony to any room. It is excellently suited for art lovers who place value on attention to detail and cultural authenticity.

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?.
