AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This atmospheric hanging scroll depicts a solitary raccoon dog (tanuki) gazing up at a luminous full moon, surrounded by gently swaying silver grass. The muted tones and delicate brushwork evoke a sense of seasonal melancholy, folkloric charm, and quiet contemplation. The scroll bears the signature ‘Gyokusho’ 玉章 and a rectangular white seal reading ‘Tan Gyokusho in’ 端玉章印, adding a formal accent to the composition. The mounting features ornate silk fabric, and the scroll is accompanied by a wooden storage box for preservation and presentation. A poetic example of traditional Japanese autumnal painting, ideal for collectors of moonlit scenes, animal symbolism, or works that reflect the quiet elegance of seasonal transition.
