Absolute auction – Japanese Hanging Scroll, Sparrow on Pomegranate Tree - Unknown - 日本 (沒有保留價)
Period: Showa era
Artist: Unknown (signature illegible, possibly “Shi”)
This elegant Japanese hanging scroll depicts a sparrow resting on the branch of a pomegranate tree, a motif rich in auspicious symbolism. In East Asian art, the pomegranate represents prosperity, fertility, and abundance, while the sparrow symbolizes vitality and everyday joy. Together, they form a harmonious and seasonally evocative composition.
The painting is executed with delicate brushwork and gentle coloration on silk, capturing the contrast between the sturdy tree trunk, fresh foliage, and vivid pomegranate fruits. The calm background enhances the poetic atmosphere, allowing the viewer to focus on the intimate interaction between bird and nature.
The artist’s signature is present but difficult to read; therefore, the work is attributed to an unknown Showa-period artist. Despite this, the quality of execution reflects solid traditional training and sensitivity typical of mid-20th-century Japanese painting.
