The box inscription reads “Spring School Fifth Generation – Titled by Nanko”, suggesting that the artist Nanko may be the fifth-generation successor of the Haruki school (春木派), a lineage known for literati-style painting and seasonal themes. This elegant hanging scroll features a vibrant cluster of chrysanthemums in full bloom, rendered with remarkable precision and delicacy. Shades of white, pink, and red blossoms rise from lush green foliage, while a butterfly flutters gently nearby—evoking themes of seasonal transition, vitality, and poetic stillness. The scroll bears the signature and seal of Nanko 南江, whose brushwork demonstrates a refined sensitivity to botanical form and compositional balance. The mounting in patterned silk enhances the decorative harmony and contemplative mood of the piece. A graceful example of traditional Japanese kacho-ga (flower-and-bird painting), ideal for collectors of autumnal themes, botanical art, or works that celebrate nature’s quiet elegance. 南江 Nanko Japanese antique art kakejiku kakemono wall hanging scroll / Chrysanthemum and Butterfly with Original Box (Tomobako) with signature and seal 'Nanko' 南江 Whole dimensions: 28" W x 87.6" H / 72.4cm x 222.6cm Inside dimensions: 20" W x 50.7" H / 51cm x 128.9cm Material: Silk Technique: Handpainted Roller ends: Wood Weight: 1010g including Original Box (Tomobako) Condition Antique items have originally crease, stain, damage, and more.
