### Title **Set of 2 Japanese Kakejiku Hanging Scrolls – Two Koi beneath Pine and Waterfall with Watermill – Water-Themed Paintings** ### Description This lot consists of two Japanese hanging scrolls united by the theme of water and traditional natural scenery. The first work portrays two koi swimming quietly beneath the branches of a pine tree. The second depicts a waterfall, mountain stream, and watermill in a secluded valley. Although created by different unidentified artists, the works complement each other as a harmonious decorative pair. Water is traditionally associated with purity, renewal, and the continuous flow of life. Koi are also celebrated as symbols of perseverance, success, prosperity, and good fortune. ### Scroll 1 – Two Koi beneath a Pine Tree This elegant Japanese painting depicts two koi swimming quietly beneath overhanging pine branches. The contrast between the orange and dark-coloured fish creates a balanced and refined composition. In Japanese culture, koi symbolise perseverance, success, prosperity, and good fortune.
