Misty Mountain Path Landscape by Kakuden


Misty Mountain Path by Kakuden has been one of my favorites. This vintage Japanese hanging scroll painting has an aura of mystic tranquility....one can just imagine the sights and sounds and smells of walking through the misty mountain forest, coming upon the foot-bridge over the brook.

This is an older, solid-feeling, high-quality scroll painting, painted on silk. Is likely from early Post-1940, possibly 1900-1940. Size is approx. 22" x 79", and the roller-ends are bone.







This vintage Japanese scroll painting has been SOLD.

Vintage Japanese Horai/Penglai Scroll Painting


I will begin here with a most classic style of Japanese painting, the san-sui style. And of those the most interesting to me are the Horai-san scroll paintings, which come from the Chinese legend of Penglai-shan, the mystical mountain rising out from the sea, where the 8 Immortals are said to come from.

Here is a beautiful rendition of Horai-san. This is a vintage Japanese hanging scroll painting on silk with silk/cloth fabric mounting. Size is approx. 21" x 76". Being vintage, of course it has spots & stains, wrinkling & creasing. This is the very nature of scroll paintings that are used, especially in a humid environment such as Japan.





This Japanese scroll painting has been SOLD.
