Description

This hanging scroll features an owl, portrayed in a tranquil moonlit scene. Against the glow of a full moon, a single bird rests on a branch, its silhouette calm and watchful. Even the leaves and twigs carry a soft, subdued radiance, as if gently lit from within.

In Japan, the owl is cherished as an auspicious bird believed to ward off hardship and invite good fortune. This meaning is tied to a playful linguistic association: fukuro, the Japanese pronunciation of owl, echoes the meaning of phrases like “good luck comes” and “no hardship,” making the owl a symbol of protection and ease. 

Because owls can turn their heads nearly 270 degrees, they are also admired for clear sight and foresight, creatures that “see all around” and therefore avoid misfortune. In the West, the owl has long been called the “sage of the forest,” a guardian of wisdom and learning. These shared traditions make the owl an especially fitting emblem for academic success, sound judgment, and thriving business. With its timeless subject and luminous palette, this scroll can be displayed year-round as a graceful talisman of good luck.

The artist, Sato Junkichi, was born in 1976 in Tokushima Prefecture and is a contemporary Japanese painter known for bird-and-flower works, landscapes, haiga (haiku painting), and portraiture. He has been selected for the Nisshun Exhibition and has participated in many group shows. As a director of the Bokusai-kai (Ink and Color Painting Association), he is recognized for his confident technique and sensitive handling of nature.

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.
