Thank you for viewing. [Beautiful Condition] Japanese Painter Shuho Tsukashita's "Chijikiso" Hanging Scroll with Paulownia Box and Biography, Purchased at Hankyu Department Store [Product Description] This is an authentic hanging scroll by the master Japanese painter Shuho Tsukashita, who delicately depicts the atmosphere of Kyoto. It was purchased at Hankyu Department Store several years ago. ■ About the Artwork This is a scroll depicting "Chijikiso," a hidden temple in Sagano, Kyoto. A thatched-roof hermitage stands in silence, surrounded by a gracefully towering bamboo forest. Mr. Tsukashita's precise brushwork, which follows the Maruyama school, brings the pure air of Kyoto into your room. ■ Condition: I was captivated by the beautiful bamboo forest painting when my house was newly built and purchased it. However, I only used it a few times in my tokonoma. As my young children started playing tag, I immediately put it away, so it was hardly used. I fell in love with this piece during a time when I preferred minimalist and serene aesthetics, like Tadao Ando's architecture or Tobe ware. The monochrome-like expression, which eschews flashy colors and embodies the spirit of wabi-sabi, still resonates with me and brings a sense of tranquility. I would like to pass it on to someone who appreciates it. • It has been carefully stored since purchase. • There is very little sign of use, and both the main paper and the mounting are in excellent condition. • A signed and sealed paulownia box (kiri-bako) and the artist's biography are included.
