Antique Japanese ink kakemono (kakejiku) – running horse, Taishō–early Shōwa period
$267.43
Antique Japanese hanging scroll (kakemono / kakejiku) featuring an expressive ink painting of a running horse, created in the Taishō–early Shōwa period (c. 1920–40s).
The composition is executed in a spontaneous suiboku ink manner, using minimal and energetic brushstrokes to convey movement and lightness—typical of early 20th-century Japanese ink painting.
The scroll bears the artist’s signature with two seals, and it is also signed on the outside, a feature commonly found in pre-war mountings.
Material: ink on Japanese paper with traditional pre-war mounting.
Approximate dimensions: 43 × 198 cm.
Condition:
Good antique condition, with natural traces of time and minimal characteristic creases from storage. No restoration — kept in its natural state with respect for age.
Shipping:
Safe and tracked shipping from Latvia (Riga Gallery of Japanese Art CloudyYokomido).
Style note:
Rendered in the free, spontaneous suiboku ink tradition associated with early 20th-century Nihonga and Nanga schools.
