Vintage Japanese Hanging Scroll with Wooden Box – Plum Blossom Ink Painting (Bunjinga Literati Style), #907, long, 212 cm

Original Japanese hanging scroll (掛軸 kakejiku) painted on traditional washi paper, complete with its original wooden storage box. This expressive artwork shows blooming plum branches in elegant Sumi-e ink wash style. The vertical inscription includes a classical poem: “The bright moon shines among pines, clear streams flow over stones.”

Signed and sealed by the artist Kodo with a cyclical date 丁酉 (hinoe-tori year). Based on materials, mounting, and brushwork, the piece was likely created in the mid to late 20th century, in the tradition of the Bunjinga (文人画) or Nanga (南画) literati style.

Literati painting (Bunjinga) is a Japanese school inspired by Chinese wenrenhua, where painting, poetry, and calligraphy blend into one meditative art form. The plum blossom (ume) symbolizes resilience and renewal — a cherished theme in Zen-inspired art.

📦 Comes in its authentic wooden storage box, marked with a traditional studio label showing “梅” (plum) and a possible alternate studio name.

✨ A timeless piece for collectors of Japanese aesthetics, literati art, and sumi-e brush painting.

Dimensions (including mounting): approx. 46 x 212 cm.
Condition: Excellent vintage condition.

💌 Ships securely from Latvia (Riga Gallery of Japanese Art "CloudyYokomido") with tracking and insurance.
