Japanese Hanging Scroll Kakejiku Yuri Suzuki "Colored Carps"

About Hanging Scrolls/Kakejiku The hanging scroll, originally introduced from China as a form of Buddhist painting, evolved over time to become a key element of indoor decoration in Japan. It gained prominence in settings such as tea ceremonies, traditional events like the Boy's Festival in May, and seasonal celebrations. In a typical Japanese home, the Tokonoma, a recessed space where the hanging scroll is displayed, serves as the heart of the household. This area holds significant cultural importance as it is used to welcome and honor guests. As hanging scrolls became more widespread, they developed into a cherished medium for showcasing and appreciating the essence of Japanese aesthetics. They often depict seasonal landscapes or auspicious symbols, reflecting and celebrating the beauty of Japan within the home. Colored Carps Two brilliantly colored carps (Koi fish) glide gracefully through the crystal-clear waters of a tranquil pond. In Japan, colored carps have long been admired as symbols of prosperity, abundance, good fortune, and enduring beauty. Their elegant movement through the clear water evokes a sense of serenity while expressing wishes for lasting happiness and continued prosperity. 【Specification】 ・Material/ Hand-painted on：Silk , Mounting：Silk , Jikusaki at the bottom：Pottery , Box：Paulownia ・Size/ Hanging scroll：W 54.5 × H 190 cm , Box：W 10.3×H 64×D 10cm ・Weight/ 1620 g ・Made in Japan Go to WEIGHT OF HANGING SCROLL Product Type: HOME DÉCOR Collection: WALL DECORATION > HANGING SCROLL Collection: HANGING SCROLL / TAPESTRY / NOREN Collection: ONE-OF-A-KIND-PIECES Collection: KAKEJIKU / ONE-OF-A-KIND PIECES
