This charming Japanese hanging scroll (kakejiku) from the Meiji period features a beautifully painted bijin (elegant woman) accompanied by a small dog. Rendered in delicate colors on silk, the composition reflects the refined aesthetics of nihonga portraiture, emphasizing grace, femininity, and gentle emotion. The woman’s flowing kimono, soft expression, and poised posture demonstrate skilled brushwork and sensitivity to detail, while the playful dog adds warmth and narrative charm to the scene. The harmonious balance of figure, color, and empty space showcases classical Japanese painting techniques. Mounted with wooden roller ends (mokujiku), the scroll retains its traditional presentation and period atmosphere. A lovely example of Meiji-era beauty painting, ideal for collectors of bijin-ga, Japanese figure art, or antique hanging scrolls. Measurements (Approx.)cm
