Description

Experience the timeless beauty of traditional Japanese painting with this exquisite kakemono from the Showa period. This work of art depicts two turtles portrayed in a tranquil, natural setting – a symbol of longevity and wisdom in Japanese culture.

The painting was masterfully hand-painted on high-quality silk by the Japanese artist Shogetsu, whose signature ennobles the work. The subtle use of colors and the finely balanced details of the composition reflect the deep connection with nature that is characteristic of traditional Japanese painting.

The jikusaki made of wood round off the kakemono harmoniously and underscore its authentic character. This unique work is perfectly suited to create an atmosphere of calm and elegance in your home. Whether as a special highlight in your living room or as a tasteful gift – this work of art will fascinate you and its viewers.

Frequently asked

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?.
