Bamboo Grove Kakejiku Hanging Scroll

Prix de vente$4,625.00 USD

Description

This exquisite hanging scroll by master artist Mino Shodo brings the serene vitality of skyward-reaching bamboo to life. Its elegant composition fills any space with a pure, tranquil presence, naturally drawing the viewer’s gaze deep into an imagined grove and leaving a lingering sense of quiet depth. The landscape is not a literal depiction of a real place, it is inspired by the misty pathways of the ancient Kumano Kodo pilgrimage routes—an idealized bamboo sanctuary born from Mino’s own heart and imagination.

This scroll is painted on finely woven silk. The silk’s natural resilience to humidity allows layered washes of ink and soft pigments to accumulate, creating a remarkable sense of depth and transparency. Depending on the light and the time of day, the viewer can almost feel the breeze flowing through the bamboo or sense the gentle mist rising in the early morning air.

The pigments are prepared by carefully blending natural mineral pigments with nikawa (animal glue), resulting in colors that are both soft and profound. Each brushstroke is exquisitely controlled to match the nature of the bamboo: fine brushes capture the tender movement of the leaves, while broad strokes convey the dynamic strength of the bamboo trunks slicing through the wind. Every line carries a silent rhythm, as though the painting itself breathes. This level of refinement lends the work both gravity and luminosity, leaving a serene impression that endures.

This hanging scroll effortlessly complements traditional Japanese alcoves and modern minimalist spaces alike. Ideal for early summer—when its cool palette soothes the heat—or spring, when its verdant tones echo the season’s renewal. Season after season, its serene elegance enhances any room.
