A hand-painted, original Japanese hanging scroll from 1930–1940, depicting a sparrow among mountain cherry blossoms in a classical animal-and-wildlife motif, mounted in silk with green accents, 197 cm high by 61.5 cm wide, weighing about 1010 g including the original tomobako, signed with a seal and sold by Gallery.
Description from the seller
This graceful hanging scroll captures a tranquil spring scene: a sparrow perched among blooming mountain cherry blossoms, rendered in delicate brushwork and soft color tones. The composition evokes themes of seasonal renewal, natural harmony, and the quiet charm of everyday life in the mountains. The scroll is mounted in patterned silk with green accents that complement the floral motif. The inclusion of the original wooden storage box (tomobako) enhances its value for preservation and presentation. A refined example of traditional Japanese kacho-ga (bird-and-flower painting), ideal for collectors of spring themes, botanical art, or works that celebrate nature’s fleeting beauty.
