AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A charming tall six-panel folding screen 屏風 (byôbu) with an atmospheric Nanga-style 南画 (nanga) landscape painting by Shimizu Rokushô 清水麓松 (1863–1919).
A broad river winds through a mountainous landscape, disappearing into mist between distant peaks. Steep rocky banks are dotted with tall pine trees 松 (matsu) and maple trees 楓 (kaede), their foliage touched with soft orange and red autumn colours.
A lone raftsman guides a raft of timber beams downstream through a narrow rocky passage, recalling the traditional practice of log rafting 筏流し (ikada-nagashi), once used in Japan’s mountainous forestry regions to transport felled timber downstream. The practice was particularly important in areas such as the Kitayama and Kumano river systems of the Kii Peninsula.
Signed in the lower left “Rokushô” 麓松素, accompanied by two red seals.
Shimizu Rokushô 清水麓松 (1863–1919) was born in Ôgaki. His original name was Tatsuo 龍男, later changed to Shôzô 龍男. He studied painting under the prominent Shijô-school artist Kôno Bairei 幸野楳嶺 and later spent time in Hida-Furukawa, where he produced numerous works. He is known particularly for landscapes and bird-and-flower paintings, and exhibited a work entitled Enkô 狙公 at the Second Paris Exhibition of Japanese Art.
Executed in colour and ink on mulberry paper. The painting is bordered by two patterned silk trims and set within a black lacquered wooden frame.
Period: Japan – Late Meiji period, around 1900.
Dimensions:
Total width 349.8 cm (2 × 59.7 cm, 4 × 57.6 cm); Height 172.5 cm.
Considering its age, the screen is in very good condition with traces of wear consistent with age on both sides. The reverse has some small areas of repapering. Please refer to the photographs for a clear impression of the condition.
The folding screen is well suited for mounting flat on a wall and presenting as a single work of art, but can also be displayed as a standalone piece.
When shipped, a certificate of authenticity will be included.
