Description from the seller
This elegant hanging scroll by Togen presents a quiet winter landscape painted in soft, atmospheric ink tones. Snow-covered mountains rise gently in the background, their contours fading into a pale winter sky. At the foot of the cliffs, a solitary fisherman stands by the water’s edge, his small presence emphasizing the vastness and stillness of the scene. The brushwork is understated yet expressive, capturing the poetry of winter—silent air, frozen ground, and the calm flow of nature untouched. The composition evokes the classical spirit of sansui painting, offering a moment of contemplation and serenity to the viewer. The scroll comes with its wooden storage box, showing the natural signs of age that accompany older works. The mounting and painting both bear traces of time, adding to the quiet character of the piece. A gentle and meditative winter landscape that would bring a sense of stillness and refinement to any space.
