AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
An interesting Japanese hand-painted handscroll (Emaki / Makimono) featuring a collaborative collection of calligraphy and paintings, including traditional landscape and figural scenes (Sansui Jinbutsu-zu).
Executed by hand in ink and color on paper, the scroll combines multiple compositions and inscriptions, creating the character of a Yoriai Shoga-maki (寄合書画巻)—a collaborative scroll in which several contributors add paintings, calligraphy, poems, or inscriptions.
The work bears an inscription dated Showa 2 (昭和二年), corresponding to 1927, placing the dated inscription in the early Showa period. Various signatures, seals, and inscriptions may provide further information regarding the participating artists or calligraphers.
The scroll is finished with bone roller ends, adding to its traditional presentation. Its combination of landscape imagery, human figures, calligraphy, and multiple artistic contributions makes it an appealing example of Japanese cultural and artistic exchange.
This piece would appeal to collectors of Japanese painting, calligraphy, handscrolls, early Showa art, and traditional works on paper.
Due to age, there may be foxing, stains, fading, creases, tears, wormholes, repairs, discoloration, or wear to the mounting. Please examine all photographs carefully for the individual paintings, calligraphy, signatures, seals, roller ends, dimensions, and overall condition. The individual artists and precise attribution should be independently assessed.
