Katsuei Arakawa – “Rankyo” – Hanging Scroll – Japan – With Tomobako

Elegant Japanese hanging scroll depicting a dramatic gorge landscape titled “Rankyo” (嵐峡).

The composition shows a misty mountain river flanked by steep cliffs and pine trees, with a lone figure crossing on a wooden raft — a refined example of traditional Japanese landscape aesthetics.

Executed in ink and mineral pigments on silk.
Signed and sealed by the artist.
Comes with original tomobako (double wooden storage box).

The atmosphere, depth of perspective, and delicate use of mist create a serene yet dynamic scene characteristic of 20th century Nihonga style.

A fine decorative and collectible example of Japanese hanging scroll art.
