Japanese Hanging Scroll Hand Painted 'Rising Sun over Calm Waves' KAKEJIKU MA961

Description

This is a beautiful Japanese hanging scroll (kakejiku) hand-painted by Yamashita Hōsen (山下芳泉, b. 1934, Gifu Prefecture), a talented Nihonga painter known for his tranquil landscapes and poetic natural scenes. Created during the Showa period, this work titled “Kyokujitsu Seihā” (旭日静波, Rising Sun over Calm Waves) captures the serene beauty of the early morning sea as the sun ascends quietly over a still horizon.


The composition radiates calm majesty — the rising sun glows warmly in the misty sky while gentle ripples shimmer across the ocean surface. Yamashita’s refined use of ink and soft mineral pigments creates a subtle gradation of light, expressing both the purity and solemnity of dawn. The scene evokes a deep sense of peace and renewal, symbolizing hope, clarity, and the eternal rhythm of nature.


Painted on silk (kenpon), the artist’s delicate brushwork and mastery of tonal harmony reflect the traditional Nihonga ideal of seijaku (serene stillness). The minimal yet powerful design invites meditation and introspection, much like the quiet beauty found in Zen-inspired landscape art.


The scroll is mounted with refined silk borders (hyōgu) and comes with its original wooden box (tomobako) and paper box (shifukuro), ensuring authenticity and careful preservation. A graceful example of Showa-era Japanese painting that combines realism, symbolism, and spiritual calm.
