Description

This idyllic kakemono gently draws the viewer into the peaceful atmosphere of a Japanese village at the time of the plum blossom. With loving precision and a light brushstroke, the artist succeeded in capturing the delicacy of the blossoms as well as the harmonious coexistence of man and nature. A single villager at work and the gently turning water mill convey the impression of an untouched, almost poetic landscape.

The scenery extends from the delicately blossoming plain across gentle hills to mist-shrouded mountains in the background, giving the work an impressive sense of spatial depth. This unique work was painted on fine paper. The work is elegantly complemented by precious jikusaki made of bone, which further underscores its value and traditional aesthetic.

Perfectly suited for lovers of Japanese landscape painting, this work of art invites the viewer to lose themselves in a calm, peaceful atmosphere while enjoying a piece of Japanese tradition. It is a picture that not only enhances any room but also creates a place of quiet contemplation and inner reflection.

Frequently asked

Does this work carry a seal or signature?

Yes, this piece carries the signature or seal of Nakamura Shunyō

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?.
