大野竹皐 Ono Chikuko (1871-1944) Japanese art kakejiku kakemono wall hanging scroll / Blue and Green Mountains Landscape Waterfall with Original Box (Tomobako) Age: 1919 March / 大正八年乙未仲春 with signature 'Chikuko senshi' 竹皐仙史 and seal 'Nonaga no in' 野長之印 'Chikuko' 竹皐 This elegant Japanese hanging scroll features a blue-green landscape (seiryoku sansui) painted by Ōno Chikkō (大野竹皐), a noted Nanga (Southern School) painter active in the early 20th century. The inscription dates the work to Taishō 8 (1919), a period marked by cultural refinement and renewed interest in literati aesthetics. The composition depicts idealized mountains, rivers, and pavilions, rendered in rich mineral pigments such as azurite and malachite, evoking a timeless, poetic realm. The seiryoku sansui technique, rooted in Tang dynasty Chinese painting, emphasizes decorative beauty and spiritual harmony, offering a contemplative vision of nature. Ōno Chikkō was a successor to the Tanomura Chikuden lineage, and his works reflect a refined balance between natural observation and imaginative composition. This scroll is ideal for collectors of Japanese literati art and seasonal interior display.
