Mounted Samurai Warrior Japanese Hanging Scroll - Japan - 20th century

An impressive antique Japanese hand-painted hanging scroll (Kakejiku) depicting a mounted samurai warrior wearing traditional armor, accompanied by a bow, arrows, and a military banner. Executed by hand in color on silk (Kenpon Chakushoku), the painting portrays a warrior on horseback, capturing the strength, dignity, and dynamic presence of Japan's historical samurai class. The composition features carefully rendered armor (Kacchu), traditional military garments, a bow and arrows (Yumiya), and a battlefield flag (Gunki). These details evoke the atmosphere of medieval Japanese warfare and the celebrated tradition of Musha-e (warrior painting). Mounted samurai were particularly important in early Japanese military history, when horsemanship and archery were essential martial skills. In Japanese art, warrior imagery has long represented courage, loyalty, determination, strength, and the spirit of Bushido. The scroll is traditionally mounted and fitted with bone roller ends (骨軸), adding a refined decorative detail to its presentation. This work would appeal to collectors of Japanese paintings, samurai art, Musha-e, military history, and antique hanging scrolls. It would make an attractive display in a tokonoma, study, gallery, or private collection. As an antique work, it may show stains, foxing, fading, creases, discoloration, tears, repairs, or wear to the silk and mounting. Please examine all photographs carefully for the painting, inscriptions or seals, bone roller ends, dimensions, and overall condition. Measurements (Approx.)cm
 Length(overall/painting): 180/108 
 Width(overall/ painting): 49/35.5 The painting is in old condition. (Please see photos for details)
Signs of age, some stains, split, wrinkles, and spots.
 
*This item will be carefully packaged and sent by registered post from Japan.
The arrival time may be extended depending on the customs processing status of each country.
*According to the policies of your local country, other fees may be charged, such as customs duties.
