Pagoda in the Mist — Sansui 山水 - Textiles - Unidentified...

A five-storey pagoda rises among dark pines in this Japanese-school hanging scroll, drawing the eye along a winding river towards mountains softened by mist. Fine rooflines contrast with flowing brushwork, while pale water opens the scene into quiet depth. Floral, gold-toned borders frame the hand-painted ink landscape. 山水 (sansui), meaning “mountain and water”, names the landscape tradition shared by Chinese and Japanese painting. The full mounted scroll measures 183 × 53 cm. It is signed and sealed, and includes an inscribed wooden box and cardboard sleeve. The painting has toning, spots and horizontal creases; the mounting and backing show soiling and edge wear. The box has handling wear, and the sleeve is scuffed with a split and loss at one end. I am not a specialist; the artist remains unidentified and the twentieth-century dating is provisional.
