A monumental Japanese hanging scroll depicting the famous historical scene “Parting at Sakurai”.
Hand-painted on silk by Kano Kazunobu 狩野美信, active from the late Edo to early Meiji period and associated with the Kano school tradition.

The scene shows the moment when Kusunoki Masashige bids farewell to his young son Masatsura before heading to battle—an episode that symbolizes loyalty, honor, and the warrior spirit in Japanese culture.
The artist combines refined linework, rich colours, and a large composition to create an impressive storytelling piece.

Mounted in elegant gold brocade with wooden scroll ends.
An imposing artwork suitable for collectors of samurai history, classical Japanese painting, or large-format scrolls.

Condition
Please judge the condition from the photos.
The work shows age-related wear, including creases, some stains, minor wrinkles, small losses to the mounting, and general patina consistent with a scroll from the Edo–Meiji period.
The painting surface itself remains clear and displays well for its age.

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,
