Description
This two-part set of Japanese hanging scrolls depicts two complementary mountain scenes: on one sheet, a temple with a curved roof rises among gnarled pines, while on the other, a figure with a white horse wanders through misty mountain ranges.
The fine ink painting on paper, accented with delicate touches of color, attests to great painterly care, particularly in the rendering of the rock formations and the loosely arranged vegetation. Both hanging scrolls bear the signature and seal of Hijikata Torei and together form a harmonious pictorial pair, as was often created for wall pairs in Japanese art.
Dating from the Meiji period, the set is delivered including a specially signed wooden box – a rare offering for collectors wishing to acquire two related works as an ensemble.
