Absolute auction Landscape by Shokei 松渓 – Hand-painted Hanging Scroll - Shokei 松渓 - Japan (No Reserve Price)

A serene Taisho to early Showa period hand-painted landscape scroll by Shokei 松渓.
This work is executed in classic ink monochrome style, depicting a quiet mountain village. The rhythmical brushwork captures rocky cliffs, bare winter trees, distant rooftops, and a solitary fisherman gliding across still waters. The minimal color and soft shading evoke a poetic and meditative atmosphere.

The calligraphy at the upper section adds elegance and balance, making this a refined piece for collectors of Japanese literati landscapes, Zen-inspired art, or traditional Nihonga aesthetics.

Mounted with traditional brocade in warm gold tones, it is ready to display.

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,
