Two Farmers and an Ox – Late Edo to Early Meiji Japanese Scroll Painting (ink on paper), kakejiku #942
$825.53
Original Japanese hanging scroll (kakemono) depicting two farmers leading an ox, painted in expressive ink on traditional washi paper.
The scene captures the warmth and realism of everyday life at the end of the Edo period, blending the free brush of the Kyoto Shijō school with the spontaneous humor typical of Kyōsai’s circle.
The paper shows clear signs of age — horizontal cracks, fold marks, surface wear, and scattered stains. The scroll has not been restored or reinforced.
Despite these time marks, the image remains strong and expressive, preserving the full composition and spirit of the original.
A genuine Edo–Meiji transitional work, unaltered and honest in its presentation — a rare survivor of Japan’s 19th-century ink tradition.
Safe and tracked shipping from Latvia (Riga Gallery of Japanese Art CloudyYokomido).
Style note:
Late Edo–Early Meiji ink painting, in the Kyoto Shijō tradition with expressive Kyōsai-like brushwork.
