牧櫻山 Maki Ōzan (active 1890-1930) Japanese painter active from the late Meiji period into the early Shōwa era, known for his work in Nanga (literati painting), landscapes, and bird‑and‑flower subjects. Although detailed biographical records are scarce, he is believed to have been born in Hita, Ōita Prefecture, and early works signed “Ōzan Minoru” suggest a long period of artistic development. Ōzan’s paintings are appreciated for their refined brushwork, soft color tones, and poetic atmosphere—qualities associated with the Japanese literati tradition. His works appeared in contemporary artist listings of the time, indicating that he enjoyed a certain level of recognition within the Nanga community. Today, his scrolls remain valued for their elegant composition and classical sensibility. Age: 1910 March / 庚戌春三月 with signature 'Ozan' 櫻山 and seal 'Maki Minoru no in' 牧實之印 A poetic hanging scroll painted by Maki Ōzan in March 1910 (庚戌春三月), depicting a solitary heron soaring through a moonlit sky above rhythmic ocean waves. The composition evokes a sense of quiet motion and seasonal melancholy, rendered in refined brushwork and soft ink tones. Signed Ōzan (櫻山) and sealed Maki Minoru no in (牧實之印), this work reflects the literati tradition’s emphasis on nature, introspection, and elegant simplicity. The heron, moon, and waves form a harmonious triad—symbolizing purity, transience, and poetic solitude. A graceful and meditative piece, ideal for collectors of classical Japanese painting and seasonal scrolls. 牧櫻山 Maki Ozan (active 1890-1930) Japanese art kakejiku kakemono wall hanging scroll / Heron in Moonlit Night Whole dimensions: 23.1" W x 74.2" H / 58.8cm x 188.5cm Inside dimensions: 16" W x 46.4" H / 40.7cm x 117.9cm Material: Silk Technique: Handpainted Roller ends: Wood Weight: 400g Condition Antique items have originally crease, stain, damage, and more.
