Absolute auction – Japanese Hanging Scroll – Rural Landscape - Taku-un (琢雲) - Japan (No reserve price)

This elegant Japanese hanging scroll depicts a tranquil rural landscape rendered with refined brushwork and soft, atmospheric color gradations. Gentle mountains recede into mist, while winding paths lead the eye through scattered trees, humble thatched dwellings, and small human figures, evoking the quiet rhythms of countryside life. The composition skillfully balances negative space and detail, a hallmark of early Shōwa-period Nihonga aesthetics influenced by classical literati painting. The subtle use of mineral pigments on silk enhances the sense of depth and seasonal calm. The artist’s inscription and red seals add both artistic and historical authenticity. Details Artist: Taku-un (琢雲) Period: ca. 1930, Kōgo (庚午), early Shōwa period Medium: Hand-painted ink and color on silk Mounting: Traditional Japanese hanging scroll Roller Ends: Cattle bone Dimensions Overall size: 193 cm × 64.5 cm Painting area: 128.5 cm × 34.5 cm Condition The painting is in good overall antique condition consistent with age. Light, even toning of the silk and minor age-related patina are present. No major tears or losses observed. Mounting shows gentle wear appropriate to a work from this period, with no functional issues. This scroll is well preserved and suitable for display. Remarks An evocative early Shōwa landscape by Taku-un, ideal for collectors of Nihonga, Japanese hanging scrolls, or serene interior decoration. A refined work that brings a sense of calm and historical presence to any space. We use Japan post as a usual shipping method.
