Description from the seller
Four Seasons Flowers, Fruits, and Reishi Mushroom / Japanese art Kakejiku Kakemono wall Hanging Scroll with Box
This richly detailed Japanese hanging scroll features a harmonious composition of seasonal flowers, ripe fruits, and a sacred lingzhi mushroom, rendered with delicate brushwork and vibrant colors. Though unsigned, the painting is estimated to date from the 1940s–1950s, based on stylistic elements and materials. The inclusion of flowers from all four seasons symbolizes the cyclical beauty of nature, while the fruits represent abundance, longevity, and domestic harmony. The lingzhi (reishi), a revered fungus in East Asian culture, is associated with immortality and spiritual vitality, often appearing in auspicious art. The scroll’s resin end knobs reflect the material innovations of the postwar period, when traditional ivory or wood was replaced by synthetic alternatives. Despite the absence of a signature, the composition and technique suggest a skilled hand. The scroll is accompanied by a storage box, ensuring safe preservation and presentation. Ideal for collectors of Japanese decorative art and botanical symbolism, this scroll offers both aesthetic beauty and cultural depth.
