Beschreibung

This hanging scroll depicts a kingfisher and is traditionally associated with summer. In Japan, seasonal motifs have long been cherished and expressed through paintings and crafts. The kingfisher, known in Japanese as hisui (jade) due to its vivid blue-green feathers, is a familiar symbol of summer.

In this piece, a solitary kingfisher perches on a branch extending over a river, intently gazing at the water’s surface—perhaps watching for its next catch. The background features a tranquil river, misty distant mountains, and delicate riverbank grasses painted with soft brushstrokes, evoking a sense of calm and refreshing stillness.

Admired for their keen eyesight and hunting precision, kingfishers are often seen as symbols of focus and achievement. Though inspired by summer, its elegant composition and positive symbolism make it ideal for year-round display.
