Description

This charming kakemono from the Showa period captures the playful innocence of a group of puppies in a natural setting. The warm yellow tones of the background harmonize perfectly with the soft colors of the dogs, creating an inviting, cheerful atmosphere.

The artwork was carefully hand-painted on fine silk by the artist Ryuseki and bears his signature. The lively depiction of the puppies and the subtle shading testify to Ryuseki's skill and his understanding of depicting nature.

The gold-colored border enhances the elegance of this piece and makes it a wonderful eye-catcher in any room. Whether as a gift or as an addition to your art collection, this unique kakemono brings joy and vibrancy to any home.

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?.
