Artwork Name: Aka Fuji (赤富士) – Traditional Nishijin-ori Textile Art Artist: Unknown Medium: Nishijin-ori Silk Textile Art Signature: Unsigned Image Size: 29.5 × 38.8 cm (11.6 × 15.3 in) Mat Size: 39.2 × 48.5 cm (15.4 × 19.1 in) Material: Silk threads This magnificent Japanese handcrafted textile artwork, created circa 1950s–1960s, is made using the traditional Nishijin-ori (西陣織) technique of Kyoto. It depicts Aka Fuji (赤富士), the classic motif in Japanese art symbolizing good fortune and renewal. The work uses rich, saturated red silk threads to outline the majestic silhouette of Mount Fuji (富士山). Deep black threads form the profound night sky, calm and solemn, creating a powerful visual contrast with the vivid red mountain. Fine raised radiating lines on the slopes vividly capture the texture of volcanic rock and the warm glow of the rising sun. At the foot of the mountain, the waters of Lake Kawaguchi (河口湖) are rendered in cool blue and silver threads, shimmering gently. These form clear, elegant layers with the striking mountain and quiet black sky, conveying a profound, tranquil atmosphere. Exquisitely crafted with a dense, substantial three-dimensional texture, this piece transforms the iconic image of Mount Fuji into a unique work of decorative art. With age, the Nishijin-ori textile shows minor oxidation and light creases. The mat displays age-related yellowing and minor foxing. Overall, the condition is good. - The picture is part of the description.
