Showa Bijin Portrait by Setsugai, Hand-Painted - Setsugai - Japan - 20th century

This elegant Japanese hanging scroll (kakejiku) features a refined bijin-ga (portrait of a beautiful woman) painted by Setsugai (雪涯). Executed in soft pigments on paper, the artwork captures the gentle expression and poised demeanor of a seated lady, reflecting the subtle charm and grace of early–mid Showa period aesthetics. The delicate brushwork and muted color palette create a calm, nostalgic atmosphere characteristic of Japanese genre painting (fūzokuga). Her kimono, hair arrangement, and posture are rendered with attentive detail, conveying both cultural refinement and the artist’s sensitivity to everyday beauty. Mounted with wooden roller ends (mokujiku) and housed in its original storage box (tomobako), the scroll remains well-preserved and suitable for display. A graceful and culturally rich piece, ideal for collectors of bijin-ga, Showa art, and traditional Japanese hanging scrolls. Measurements (Approx.)cm
 Length(overall/painting): 205/133 Width(overall/ painting): 38/33 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.
