Description from the seller
金田春煇 Kaneda Shunki
Kaneda Shunki is a Japanese-style painter whose works have appeared in galleries and auctions, typically featuring seasonal landscapes and floral compositions. While detailed biographical records are currently unavailable, his paintings often bear the signature and seal ‘Shunki’ 春煇, and are mounted as traditional hanging scrolls (kakejiku). Collectors value his pieces for their decorative elegance and classical brushwork.
with signature and seal 'Shunki' 春煇
This atmospheric hanging scroll presents a poetic spring night scene: a gently arching weeping cherry tree illuminated by the soft glow of a bonfire, set against a muted evening sky. The composition evokes themes of transience, seasonal beauty, and quiet reflection, rendered in delicate brushwork and warm tonal contrasts.
The scroll bears the signature and seal of Kaneda Shunki 春煇, and is mounted in patterned silk that complements the serene mood of the painting. A storage box is included for safekeeping and presentation.
A contemplative example of traditional Japanese spring-themed painting, ideal for collectors of sakura motifs, night scenes, or works that celebrate the fleeting elegance of seasonal transitions.
