Ink Landscape Scroll Painting

Description

Kano School Sansui Landscape. Painted with ink on silk.

The Kano school is a group of painters who produced fusuma (sliding doors) and wall paintings as official painters for the shogunate at their castles and houses. It reigned at the center of the art world for about 400 years from the Muromachi (1338-1573) to the Edo period (1603-1868). Many of the works of the Kano school are dynamic and formal and colored with gold leaf.

Some insignificant light marks and tiny traces of restoration of damage are present on the painting, otherwise the painting is in fine condition with age. The scroll mounting is very good condition. It is accompanied by an aged paulownia wood storage box.
