Japanese Hanging Scroll Hand Painted Waterfall & Autumn Leaves KAKEJIKU By Keido MB442
This is a Japanese hanging scroll painted on paper, titled “Sotaki-zu (Waterfall and Autumn Leaves)” by Togashi Keido. The composition depicts a flowing waterfall surrounded by autumn foliage, rendered with refined brushwork and atmospheric seasonal expression.
Hand painted with traditional Nihonga techniques, the work captures the contrast between the powerful movement of the waterfall and the calm beauty of autumn leaves. The composition creates a tranquil yet dynamic landscape filled with seasonal depth and natural elegance.
Waterfalls in Japanese art symbolize purification, vitality, and the continuous flow of life, while autumn leaves evoke the beauty of seasonal transition and the poetic atmosphere of nature. Together, these motifs create a balanced landscape composition deeply connected to traditional Japanese aesthetics.
Togashi Keido, born around 1897 in Yamagata Prefecture, was a Japanese painter active during the Showa era. His works are appreciated for their refined landscapes and classical Japanese scenic compositions.
Executed on paper, the painting displays delicate ink work and smooth tonal variation. The tall vertical format enhances the depth of the waterfall scene and gives the work graceful decorative presence suitable for tokonoma display.
Created in Showa 6 (1931), the scroll comes with its original wooden storage box and carries strong early Showa-period Japanese painting atmosphere.
