Absolute Auction Japanese Hanging Scroll Moonlit Bird on Blooming Branch Attributed to Kuroda - Attributed to Kuroda Tsunamasa authenticity unknown - Japan (No Reserve Price)

Item Description

A refined Japanese hanging scroll attributed to Kuroda Tsunamasa, a mid-Edo period feudal lord who served as the 3rd lord of the Chikuzen Tōrenji Domain and later as the 4th lord of the Chikuzen Fukuoka Domain.
While the attribution follows long-standing tradition, the authenticity cannot be verified.
Nevertheless, the work carries strong historical interest due to its association with a notable daimyo.

Hand painted on silk, the artwork depicts a bird resting on a blossoming branch illuminated by a gentle full moon.
The delicate brushwork and soft colour palette create a poetic and meditative atmosphere characteristic of classical Japanese aesthetics.

Mounted in elegant brocade with wooden scroll ends, this piece is well suited for collectors who appreciate antique bird-and-flower paintings or works connected to historical Japanese figures.

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,
