Description

This kakemono by Tamaoki Raiseki captures the peaceful scene of a resting tiger lying relaxed in the grass. Nearby, a cub explores its surroundings, lending the depiction a touching and familial quality. The detailed painting emphasizes the calm and natural elegance of the animals, while the soft grasses and delicate shading create a harmonious atmosphere.

The artwork was painted on high-quality silk. The jikusaki made of bone underscore the authenticity and traditional character of the piece. It is delivered in a signed wooden box, which not only offers protection but also highlights the special provenance and value of this unique artwork.

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?.
