Vintage Japanese ink scroll “Solitary fisherman and winter tree”, kakemono (kakejiku), mid-Shōwa period #1809

Ink on paper scroll, created in the mid-Shōwa period. A composition built on quiet space and restrained brushwork: a solitary fisherman and a winter branch suggest a moment of stillness and seasonal calm. Minimal detail, soft ink gradation, and a focus on breath, line, and silence.

Signed by the artist; a red seal is present.

Stylistically aligned with post-war interpretations of suibokuga, valuing empty space, gesture, and contemplative simplicity.

Condition: natural traces of time and characteristic fiber creases from storage. No restoration — preserved in its natural state with respect for age.

Dimensions: approx. 48 × 198 cm
Medium: ink on paper, traditional Shōwa mounting
Safe and tracked shipping from Latvia (Riga Gallery of Japanese Art CloudyYokomido)

Style note

Quiet post-war suibokuga with emphasis on empty space and a lone figure in nature
