AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This elegant Japanese hanging scroll depicts cherry blossoms in full bloom with a small bird perched on a branch, a classic and highly appreciated subject in Japanese painting. The blossoms are rendered in soft yet vivid colors, while the bird is delicately detailed, creating a harmonious and tranquil composition.

The work is signed Ryuseki, an artist active during the Taisho to Showa period. The painting reflects the refined decorative style of early modern Japanese flower-and-bird painting (Kachō-ga), emphasizing seasonal beauty and balance.

Painted by hand on silk, the scroll is accompanied by its original wooden storage box, making it suitable for collectors as well as for tasteful interior display.
