Description
Two bold characters, sweeping in Sōsho style, fill nearly the entire pictorial field of this calligraphy, whose meaning can be translated as 'Snow, Moon, Flowers.' The motif 'Setsugekka' refers to three phenomena regarded as the epitome of seasonal beauty, which have inspired poets, painters, and calligraphers alike for centuries. A red seal in the upper right sets a quiet counterpoint to the powerful ink strokes.
The hanging scroll was written by hand on paper during the Taishô period (1912–1926). It is precisely the concise, almost reduced choice of words combined with expansive brushwork that reveals the mastery with which meaning and form merge here, a characteristic that distinguishes good calligraphy from mere writing.
The scroll rods are fitted with ends made of ceramics. For lovers of Japanese calligraphy, this handwritten unique work is an expressive piece that vividly conveys the close connection between nature, poetry, and calligraphy in Japanese culture.
