Waterfalls
Waterfalls are Summer scrolls as the falling water can add a coolness
to the room while misty landscapes can be a wonderful meditation vehicle

TAKI( Waterfall ). This type scroll is for summer  in Japan. It creates a cool atmosphere
 

The magnificent antique hand painted works of art show the Japanese style of painting at its very best. Some of these scrolls are very old and in
some cases these have been completely restored where the original mounts were beyond repair. The original ends and boxes have been retained
if these were available but the silk mounts have been replaced with similar colours to the original. Nothing has been altered with the actual painting.
Boxes have been made or are supplied with all Scrolls from Tokonomascrolls.com

Taki Sansui Ga. Waterfall landscape by Scroll artist Kako. This is an old scroll with a wonderful romanticised landscape of  the Hannoki Falls at 497 metres making it the largest waterfall in Japan. The scroll is in good condition but with a little fading on the lower part of the scroll mounting. This also has some darker shading so I will remount the silks and add period wood ends as the ones attached are not as good as the original pair  The price is £265 including a special box made from antique Kimono silk

Sadakata (Sakata?) Kaiseki (1882-1967?)

Born in Okayama prefecture and educated at Kansai Gakuin University. Studies under Kyose Shoseki and becomes his son-in-law. He goes abroad to France and enters the Salon d'automne exhibiton where established artists such as Pierre-Auguste Renoir threw their support behind this exhibition and even Auguste Rodin displayed several drawings. Since its inception, the greats and future greats of the art world such as Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse, Paul Gauguin and Pablo Picasso have been shown here. An obvious magnet for young artists from around the world including Japan

Later in life he created hanga or woodblock prints. Not much of his life is recorded and is thought to have passed away after 1933. However, Kaiseki did change his artist name 3 times and the painting is during the 1930s when Kaiseki was living in Tokyo's Bunkyo ward until when he moved back to Okayama during the war. Kaiseki was known to have favored to paint Mt. Fuji many times during his life. During the years when he used the name Youkei, centered his Mt. Fuji in his paintings and used more landscapes compared to his earlier works where there were more genre paintings with Mt. Fuji in the background.

 

Doi Kinkoku Born in 1901 (34th year of Meiji)  A powerful Image of Taki, Waterfall with a kingfisher flying in front.

Taki by Doi Kinkoku who painted this wonderful and evocative waterfall with a Kawasami-kingfisher, flying in front. A view of a beautiful scene in , perhaps, a garden or estate.

The inscription says for Suiu, although its says Shouchu its actually not window but within the estate or a place that was owned by someone.

The distinctness that made me find the artist is the signature, he signed his painting as nai i itsujin saku and that means the reculse who is similar to his father and the artist name is Doi Kinkoku Born in 1901 (34th year of Meiji) and is trained under Mori Kinseki and Himejima Chikugai and was known to have painted Nanga style paintings frequently. However Doi Kinkoku is not as well known as his teachers and his work is hard to find. It was indeed fortunate that we have discovered this stunning scroll.

54x25 inches. Including Pauwlana Wood Box £210
This is not a long painting and therefore very suitable for display of a Bonsai.

  
      

Artist is Maeda Ichiou (1890 - 1939) Born in Gifu prefecture, his other name was Kenichi.
He was taught by Yamamoto Sunkyo. He lived until the age of 49.

The seal (seal script can be hard to decipher) but its more like a short line poem of the uguisu or a Bush Warbler, which relates the the artist's name Ichiou which is one bush warbler.

This is a absolutely beautiful Sansui ga, landscape, of a waterfall through autumn leaves. The light that has been captured by this artist is quite stunning and the balance of the subject has been extremely well done. Flocks of birds fly throgh the leaves and in front of the waterfall and the entire image is full of life and movement. Painted on silk this Sansui ga has all the elements that you would like to see in a landscape painting . The mounts are in very good condition. On a personal note this has, without doubt, been  one of my favourite scrolls in this genre. 70.1z23.1 inches
With its box, this wonderful scroll is £225

Waterfall Sansui ga fishing for Unagi  on a summer evening
 scene by scroll artist Kouzan painted late 20th century. Capturing the waterfall in the distance in a late Sunner evening with the lamps of the hut glowing and the reflection of the moonlight in the great waterfall up in the mountains. This reminded me of Angel Falls. Fishermen catching eels, Unagi,  in the river at night, the best time for this delicacy. It's a Japanese custom to eat unagi on "doyo no ushinohi" in the summer.

Waterfall painting Size  110.0cm x 45.0cm / 43.3" x 17.7"
Hand painted on Silk. I managed to find this old painting
which had, at one point been on a scroll. That scroll had long since been discarded. It was in a frame
It has now been re mounted on a scroll.
However I wanted to keep the scroll to around 60 inches  and while not correct in the mathematical dimensions of a traditional Scroll, This was designed for
Bonsai Tokonoma exhibition background display
The feeling of thundering water is quite wonderful in this excellent painting by a Japanese Master, The top of the scroll has the palest beige silk with a hint of green and the brocade border reflects the green in the Maple tree, The scroll colour to match this superb silk painting was designed by my friend, a third generation Scroll Maker in China.

Including Brocade Silk covered box £ 225
