Description

The elegant depiction of drooping willow branches, painted by Yukawa Shodo in the Showa period, conveys a calm and graceful atmosphere. The fine brushstrokes on silk make the movement of the branches in the wind feel vivid and capture the subtle beauty of nature. The background, which lets the moon shine through discreetly, reinforces the meditative mood and lends the work a poetic depth.

The kakemono is fitted with a jikusaki made of ceramics, underscoring its high-quality craftsmanship. It also bears the artist's stamp and is delivered with a signed wooden box, which ensures both the authenticity and the protection of this special work of art. A timeless masterpiece for lovers of traditional Japanese art.

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?.
