Specialized in cranes. with signature and seal 'Baisai' 梅齊 This refined Japanese hanging scroll features a kingfisher perched among autumn reeds, painted by Kanō Baisai (1883–1969), a prominent member of the Nagoya art circle and a successor to the Kanō school tradition. The composition blends vibrant realism with poetic restraint, capturing the quiet elegance of seasonal nature. In Japanese symbolism, the kingfisher (kawasemi) represents clarity, agility, and auspicious energy, while the reeds (ashi) evoke autumnal stillness and the passage of time. The contrast between the bird’s vivid plumage and the soft ink tones of the reeds creates a meditative visual harmony. Kanō Baisai studied under Ishikawa Yūrin and Ikegami Shūho, and exhibited at the Teiten (Imperial Art Exhibition). His works are known for their delicate brushwork, balanced composition, and seasonal sensitivity, making this scroll ideal for collectors of Japanese nature painting and interior display. 狩野梅斎 Kano Baisai (1884-1969) Japanese art kakejiku kakemono wall hanging scroll / Kingfisher Perched on Reed Branch with Original Box (Tomobako) Whole dimensions: 18" W x 79" H / 45.9cm x 200.8cm Inside dimensions: 12.2" W x 50.5" H / 31cm x 128.3cm Material: Paper Technique: Handpainted Roller ends: Bone Weight: 640g including Original Box (Tomobako) Condition Antique items have originally crease, stain, damage, and more.
