Absolute Auction – No Reserve. A magnificent Japanese hanging scroll (kakejiku) dating to the Taisho Mizunoe-inu Year (1922), featuring an exquisite painting of two cranes beneath a rising sun, a timeless motif symbolizing longevity, harmony, and prosperity in Japanese art. The composition presents a pair of red-crowned cranes (tancho) perched gracefully on an ancient pine tree, their elegant forms illuminated by the warm glow of the morning sun. The red disk of the sun — a symbol of Japan itself — contrasts beautifully with the soft tones of the birds and the textured bark of the pine, creating a striking balance between vital energy and serene dignity. The unknown artist demonstrates refined brush control and sensitivity to color, employing mineral pigments and delicate ink lines to evoke both realism and spiritual stillness. This work encapsulates the traditional Japanese wish for peace, good fortune, and everlasting life. The scroll is beautifully mounted with golden patterned silk brocade, and finished with wooden roller ends. It remains in very good condition, retaining excellent color tone and surface stability.

Dear Valued Buyers in Europe, I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to you. Thanks to your continued support, I have been able to carry on my business for more than ten years. As of June 28, 2025, new regulations have taken full effect in the European Union concerning the importation of cultural property from outside the EU. Under these rules, when items are classified as “Cultural Property” or as antiques over 100 years old, and they are not accompanied by an Export Permit for Cultural Property, certain restrictions may apply under both Italian law and EU regulations. This Export Permit for Cultural Property has traditionally been required when exporting items such as swords, and obtaining it generally takes about one month. For this reason, when shipping hanging scrolls that are more than 100 years old, I will continue to use the same HS code as for those less than 100 years old. I sincerely ask for your kind understanding regarding this matter. With gratitude and respect,
