Description

Beneath a pale rising sun, a pair of red-crowned cranes stand side by side, while two turtles rest at their feet. Pine branches frame the scene from above and white plum blossoms open beside the birds, all set against a warm, softly hazed background.

Screen-printed on silk and finished with hand-applied color, this auspicious hanging scroll captures the fine detail of each feather, from snowy wings to ink-dark tail plumes.

In Chinese painting, pine, bamboo, and plum are known collectively as saikan no sanyu (“Three Friends of Winter”) in Japanese. Retaining their beauty and vitality even in the harshest winter, these plants have become symbols of good fortune and celebration in Japan.

The crane and turtle carry a wish for a long and healthy life, echoing the saying tsuru wa sennen, kame wa mannen (“the crane lives a thousand years, the turtle ten thousand”). Tradition holds that the crane earned its thousand years by resting on the branches of a thousand-year-old pine. The turtle, meanwhile, is associated with ten thousand years because those living in Mannen-ike (“Ten-Thousand-Year Pond”) were believed to enjoy exceptional longevity.

The sun, a sign of new beginnings and prosperity, makes the scroll a traditional choice for New Year celebrations and engagement ceremonies.

The artist, Asano Juho, born in 1949 in Gifu Prefecture, specializes in nihonga, traditional Japanese-style painting, and is particularly known for his depictions of flowers and birds. He has been listed in Bijutsu Nenkan (Art Annual) and has participated in open-call, 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.
