This elegant hanging scroll (kakejiku) is painted by Sobun, an artist known for his refined Nihonga techniques and lyrical depictions of seasonal beauty. The artwork presents a Japanese white-eye (mejiro) perched on a blossoming sakura branch, a classic motif symbolizing the arrival of spring, renewal, and joyful harmony in Japanese culture. Sobun’s delicate brushwork captures the soft gradation of the petals, the gentle movement of the branches, and the subtle atmosphere of early spring light. The composition balances refinement and serenity, making it an ideal piece for interior display throughout the year. A notable feature of this scroll is its ceramic jikusaki (end knobs), which add an additional level of craftsmanship and decorative appeal. It also comes with its original wooden tomobako, signed and sealed, ensuring safe storage and enhancing its collectability. 桑文 Sobun Japanese art kakejiku kakemono wall hanging scroll / Cherry Blossoms and Japanese White-Eye with Original Box (Tomobako) with signature and seal 'Sobun' 桑文 Whole dimensions: 23.7" W x 74.9" H / 60.3cm x 190.3cm Inside dimensions: 16.2" W x 41.4" H / 41.3cm x 105.2cm Material: Silk Technique: Handpainted Roller ends: Pottery Weight: 1380g including Original Box (Tomobako) Condition Antique items have originally crease, stain, damage, and more.
