Description
In muted tones of gray and blue, a quiet mountain landscape unfolds here: a single farmstead nestles beneath gnarled pines on a hill, while below it a river winds its way through the valley. The restrained coloring makes the cold and stillness of Winter palpable, without snow having to be depicted explicitly.
This kakemono is part of an evocative depiction of the four seasons, a theme popular in Japanese painting that honors the constant change of nature. The fine linework of the pine branches and the soft gradations of the mountains attest to great painterly experience. The scene is painted on silk, whose shimmering surface lends the ink tones additional depth.
The jikusaki at the ends of the roller rods is made of wood. This kakemono from the Meiji period is a calm, atmospheric addition for lovers of classical Japanese landscape painting.
