AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A refined Japanese hanging scroll depicting two elegant Nishikigoi — a shimmering white carp and a warm red-orange carp — gliding gracefully through a clear mountain stream. The artist Masumi captures the beauty of flowing water with layered washes of soft greens and blues, creating a serene sense of movement and depth. The koi themselves are rendered with fine detail, their scales and forms illuminated by subtle gradations of color. Signed ‘Masumi’ 真澄 with the artist’s red seal ‘Masumi’ 真須美, this work reflects the traditional appreciation for koi as symbols of perseverance, good fortune, and harmonious living. The gentle composition and tranquil palette make this scroll ideal for display in both classic and modern interiors.
