Description
Pale gray tones make Fuji-San appear as if seen through dense morning mist, while small rock formations in front, likewise rendered in ink, form a quiet foreground with scattered pines and two tiny figures. The delicate, almost translucent wash creates a meditative mood in which the sacred mountain appears less as a massive elevation than as a fleeting, atmospheric appearance. This reticent pictorial language is typical of classical Suiboku landscape painting.
The kakemono, painted on paper, bears the signature and seal of the artist Kishi Koma (岸駒) and was created in the Meiji period. The jikusaki made of bone underscores the high-quality mounting, and the hanging scroll is delivered including a wooden box. Fuji depictions of this kind were valued by numerous painters of the period as an expression of permanence and spiritual sublimity.
The fine, almost reticent execution makes this kakemono a particularly evocative piece for collectors of classical landscape painting who prefer a quiet, contemplative pictorial language to the loud motif.
