Description
In a three-part hanging scroll set, a mountain landscape rendered in fine ink tones unfolds, at the center of which the cheerful figure of Hotei appears floating – with round belly, wide robe, and the characteristic sack over his shoulder that identifies him as one of the Seven Lucky Gods. The two side scrolls show mist-shrouded mountains, gnarled trees, and hinted-at villages, so that a cohesive, atmospherically dense landscape image emerges.
The set was hand-painted on paper in the Shôwa period and shows the concentration on ink tones and fine washes typical of the Suiboku tradition. The three-part hanging scroll is delivered including the accompanying wooden box, which served for the joint storage of the three panels.
As a lucky charm motif and harmonious landscape ensemble, this set is particularly suited for a generous presentation in the tokonoma, where the three panels together develop their full effect. For collectors of Japanese ink painting, this rare three-part unique work is a special addition.
