Japanese Hanging Scroll Kakejiku Keizo Sato "Kingfisher"
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. Kingfisher Perched quietly beside a tranquil pond, a kingfisher patiently watches the water, seemingly deep in thought as it waits for the perfect moment to catch its prey. Its charming, contemplative expression brings a gentle smile to the viewer's face. The brilliant blue plumage of the kingfisher, paired with the crystal-clear waters, creates a refreshingly cool atmosphere, beautifully capturing the quiet serenity of a Japanese summer. 【Specification】 ・Material/ Hand-painted on：Washi paper , Mounting：Cotton , Jikusaki at the bottom：Pottery , Box：Paulownia ・Size/ Hanging scroll：W 47 × H 190 cm , Box：W 8.8×H 63.8×D 8.5cm ・Weight/ 1180g ・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
