Description

The subject of this hanging scroll is “Golden Mt. Fuji.” Mount Fuji—Japan’s highest peak—has long been revered and is closely associated with legends of everlasting life. 

In this work, Fuji towers above a sea of clouds, bathed in sacred sunlight and shining brilliantly. Depicted in fine detail, the mountain appears powerful and majestic, with a commanding presence. The piece incorporates genuine gold leaf, whose radiant shimmer gives the entire work an impression of glowing with light. As an auspicious scroll, it can be displayed throughout the year regardless of the season. 

The mounting also has distinctive features. A single continuous band of karakusa (arabesque) and peony patterns is applied. The karakusa motif symbolizes vital life force and carries meanings of “longevity” and “prosperity.” The peony is a felicitous pattern that represents happiness. In addition, beside these motifs runs a pattern called karin (quince). The karin motif was used as a family crest in Japan’s aristocratic society and later came to be regarded as a symbol of flourishing descendants.

The artist, Nishimori Yuko, was born in Kagoshima Prefecture in 1956 and is now based in Gifu. A member of the Bokusai-kai (Ink and Color Painting Association), he is a contemporary Nihonga painter known especially for his works featuring Mount Fuji, and has exhibited widely in both solo and group exhibitions.

Rouleaux suspendus Kakejiku

Les rouleaux suspendus japonais, connus sous le nom de kakejiku ou kakémonoLes rouleaux de papier (ou kakis) sont une forme traditionnelle d'art mural japonais, appréciée depuis plus de mille ans. Ornés de calligraphie japonaise, de motifs saisonniers ou de peintures, chaque rouleau est réalisé selon des techniques raffinées qui reflètent la beauté de la nature et de la culture.

Polyvalents et intemporels, les kakemonos s'intègrent aussi bien dans les maisons, les salons de thé que dans les intérieurs modernes. Leur légèreté permet de les enrouler, de les ranger et de les changer au gré des saisons et des occasions. Expression intemporelle de l'art mural japonais, les kakemonos apportent une touche d'harmonie à tout espace.
