This coordinated set showcases two distinct and classic artistic perspectives on this auspicious motif: Left Scroll (by Shosen - 松泉): Titled "Pair of Carps under a Pine Tree" (松に双鯉の図). It portrays a serene underwater scene featuring a black carp and a striking red-and-white patterned koi swimming peacefully beneath pine branches. Right Scroll (by Sho - 聖): Titled "Pair of Carps Climbing the Waterfall" (双鯉滝登り図). It depicts a dynamic scene of a black carp and a red carp powerfully swimming up a rushing waterfall—a famous allegory representing career success and overcoming adversity ("Dragon Gate"). Technique: Both pieces are high-quality art prints on fine silk (kenpon - 絹本), enhanced with meticulous hand-painted details (hand-touched finishes, notably using metallic gold pigments to accentuate the scales and water highlights). The rollers are crafted from natural wood. An excellent decorative set for introducing refined, traditional Japanese symbolism to any home gallery or tea room. Condition Report Offered in pre-owned condition with signs of age and display: Left Scroll (Shosen): The main artwork on silk shows noticeable light brown foxing/stain marks (shimi) scattered across the sky/upper area. The mounting has natural creasing and minor age wear but remains structurally solid. Right Scroll (Sho): The silk surface is in slightly cleaner condition, showing only minor, faint foxing/stains. The overall mounting shows light storage creases and handling wear. General Notes: Both scrolls roll and unroll smoothly. The wooden rollers at the bottom are intact. Please carefully study all the provided photos to assess the detailed artistry, review the hand-painted accents, examine the artists' signatures/seals, and evaluate the degree of foxing and condition before placing your bid. ※Please be sure to read the【Important Notes】section below before purchasing.
