Description from the seller
A charming Japanese hanging scroll depicting a young girl absorbed in play with a colorful kamifusen — the traditional Japanese paper balloon. Rendered with gentle lines and warm tones, the work captures a moment of pure childhood innocence, highlighted by the girl’s bright floral kimono and her lively, expressive gesture as the balloon floats before her. Signed and sealed ‘Todo’ 東童, the piece reflects the artist’s sensitivity in portraying youthful joy and everyday scenes with refined simplicity. The harmonious gold-toned mounting enhances the soft radiance of the composition, making the scroll both delightful and elegant. A heartwarming artwork that brings a sense of nostalgia and serenity, perfect for adding a touch of Japanese charm to any interior.
