Rooster and Peonies – Antique Japanese Silk Scroll by Setpō
$582.03
A proud rooster and his companion stand beneath blooming peonies, framed by a scholar’s rock — a classic image of harmony, abundance, and enduring strength. This elegant scroll captures the refined spirit of Japanese kachō-ga painting, where nature becomes a mirror of human character.
Signed with the art-name Setpō, the piece bears a traditional zodiac date that corresponds to either 1925 or an earlier cycle — possibly as far back as the late 19th century. The brushwork, muted mineral pigments, and careful composition reflect the influence of the Shijō school, known for its poetic realism and gentle naturalism.
Professionally remounted in more recent decades, the painting itself remains beautifully preserved — a rare survival from Japan’s transitional age of Meiji to Taishō. Whether displayed as a statement piece or added to a growing collection, it brings a quiet dignity and seasonal grace to any space.
