Maekawa Bunrei Late Meiji to Early Taisho Period Moonlit Rural Cottage with Farmer – Hanging Scroll A tranquil and elegantly rendered hanging scroll by Maekawa Bunrei, an important Kyoto-school painter active from the late Edo to early modern period. This work beautifully captures a quiet moonlit landscape featuring a thatched rural cottage, soft mist rolling over the hills, and a farmer seated by his home preparing tea. The composition is marked by Bunrei’s signature refined brushwork and lyrical atmosphere. The mounting features a harmonious combination of pale bluegreen brocade and soft ivory tones, enhancing the painting’s calm night scene. A fine piece for collectors of Japanese landscapes and nanga aesthetics.

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,
