Description

This kakejiku hanging scroll by Seto Keizo, depicting a traditional kabuto samurai helmet, is a representative work for celebrating Tango-no-Sekku, also known as Boys' Day or Children's Day. In Japan, families with boys traditionally display May Festival Dolls, kabuto samurai helmets and carp streamers on May 5th to express their hopes for the boys to grow up healthy and become admirable individuals.

Additionally, in the tokonoma "alcove" of the house, hanging scrolls depicting carp climbing up a waterfall or warriors are displayed as a symbol of aspirations for success in life and protection from evil, serving as guardian spirits. This tradition reflects the hope that children will grow up with the strength, dignity, and character of young warriors, excelling in both scholarly and martial pursuits.

This piece is carefully stored, wrapped around a scroll rod inside a beautiful wooden paulownia box. 

Sato Keizo, born in 1955 in Tokushima Prefecture, is a skilled ink and color painter and a member of the Bokusai Association. Specializing in flower-and-bird paintings, landscapes, haiga (haiku-themed paintings), and portraits, he brings a refined sensitivity to each of his works.
