Description

This exquisite Japanese hanging scroll from the Meiji period is a masterful depiction of nature and impermanence – two central themes of traditional Japanese art. The hanging scroll shows a blossoming cherry branch that leans elegantly over a moss-covered rock.

The detailed execution on fine silk brings out the delicate blossoms in harmonious shades of pink, while the rock, with its bright, greenish-blue moss accents, forms an appealing contrast. The combination of natural lightness and earthy stability reflects the philosophy of Japanese aesthetics – an image that radiates calm and permanence.

Framed in a stylish mounting with a jikusaki made of bone, this hand-painted unique work embodies the high artistry of Japanese painting. A fascinating collector's item that lends any room an atmosphere of grace and harmony
