Item Description Offered at Absolute Auction (No Reserve) — a serene and poetic Japanese hanging scroll (kakejiku) painted by Ganryo (岸良) during the Meiji–Taisho period (late 19th–early 20th century). This elegant composition depicts a scholar seated quietly inside a thatched hut, surrounded by blossoming cherry trees in full bloom against gentle mountain slopes. Executed in delicate mineral pigments on silk, the work captures the tranquil beauty of springtime retreat and contemplation, a favorite motif of literati painting (bunjinga). The composition harmonizes soft color tones, fine brushwork, and graceful spatial rhythm — a balance between nature’s grandeur and human serenity. The scholar’s calm presence evokes the ideal of “seisho” (静処) — a peaceful place for study and reflection amid nature. The painting is beautifully mounted with green and gold silk brocade, emphasizing refinement and purity. An outstanding example of Japanese seasonal aesthetics and literati spirit, suitable for collectors of Japanese ink painting, seasonal art, and Meiji-period fine arts.

Dear Valued Buyers in Europe, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to you. Thanks to your continued support, I have been able to carry on my business for more than ten years. As of June 28, 2025, new regulations have taken full effect in the European Union concerning the importation of cultural property from outside the EU. Under these rules, when items are classified as “Cultural Property” or as antiques over 100 years old, and they are not accompanied by an Export Permit for Cultural Property, certain restrictions may apply under both Italian law and EU regulations. This Export Permit for Cultural Property has traditionally been required when exporting items such as swords, and obtaining it generally takes about one month. For this reason, when shipping hanging scrolls that are more than 100 years old, I will continue to use the same HS code as for those less than 100 years old. I sincerely ask for your kind understanding regarding this matter. With gratitude and respect,
