Cherry blossom screen by Ito Kakou
About the Item
Beauty of cherry blossoms in full bloom, a central motif cherished in Japanese culture for its fleeting beauty and representation of the transient nature of life. The screen is a masterwork by the esteemed artist Ito Kakou. Born in Mie Prefecture in 1939, Ito's accolades began with a first prize at the Japan Art Institute's Spring Exhibition in 1962, marking the start of a distinguished career with numerous selections for prestigious exhibitions. An Inten recognized artist since 1965, Ito's contributions to Japanese art have been celebrated with multiple awards, including the Medal with Dark Blue Ribbon. His works have been embraced internationally, with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Japan acquiring his pieces and one of his iconic creations featuring in the Gifu Central Future Exposition. In 1999, his art was immortalized on a postage stamp showcasing "Usuzumi-zakura," his hometown's famed cherry blossoms. Ito's legacy includes his role as the director of Setsuko Mikishi Memorial Art Museum and his generous donation of "Awaboku Cherry Blossoms" to Yakushiji Temple. This screen, part of a two-screen set, embodies the depth and delicacy of his artistry, inviting onlookers to experience the serene beauty of Sakura that has inspired generations.

Kano Sanrakuki (1898-1981)
Showa period, circa 1930
2-panel Japanese Screen
Color, gofun and gold leaf on paper
Against a backdrop of gold-leafed ground, the lichen covered trunk and branches of the life-sized cherry blossom tree reach out and beyond the confines of the pictorial surface. The overall composition has a feeling of flatness which draws emphasis to the surface and the three-dimensionality of the cherry blossoms. Painstakingly built-up layers of thickly applied shell-white gofun detail the voluminous blossoms and cover large areas of this tour-de-force of Japanese Nihonga painting. By simplifying the background, minimizing the number of colors and depicting the blossoms with such heavy relief, the artist has emphasized the stunning presence of the cherry tree. The type of tree depicted is the Yae-Zakura; a double-layered type of cherry blossom famed for its beauty and strength. When we think of Japanese cherry blossoms, the first thing that comes to mind is Somei Yoshino variety, which has a single flower with five almost white petals. This type is fragile and easily blown away by strong wind or rain. Most of the double-flowered cherry blossoms begin to bloom when the Somei-Yoshino falls, and the flowering period lasts longer than that of the Somei-Yoshino.
Kano Sanrakuki originally studied painting at the Kyoto City Arts and Crafts School under the tutelage of Yamamoto Shunkyo...
