About the Item
On offer is a framed watercolor depicting a country scene, from the architecture most likely in Japan. It appears to be just after the season’s first snowfall which lightly dusts the roofs, stream bed and surrounding boulders. One lone figure carrying a pack lingers for a moment on the bridge.
Simply but richly mounted within a brocade-wrapped mat behind glass and within a frame on its own stand, this work was meant to be set on a flat surface to be experienced instead of hung on a wall. It was apparently created for enjoyment within a society that traditionally built homes without interior load-bearing walls.
The artist leaves us a suggestive note in the upper right corner on just how to enjoy the work. One translation: “Gradually reaching a beautiful or pleasant state," or "gradually entering a better state." It can also mean "getting into the zone" in a creative sense. And who doesn’t want that?
Signature: The red seal in the upper right corner typically serves as an artist's signature or a collector's mark in Chinese tradition. It is a sign of authenticity and can add to the work's value.
