This elegant pair of Japanese hanging scrolls features a full moon (ginpa) and a rising sun (kinpa), symbolizing the yin-yang balance and cosmic rhythm of nature. The composition is known as “Kinpa Ginpa”—literally “golden waves and silver waves”—a poetic reference to the shimmering reflections of moonlight and sunlight on water. The artist, Miyoshi Kenko (1839–1919), was a master of the Sumiyoshi school, trained under Morozumi Tsurana and Sumiyoshi Hirokata. His works blend decorative elegance with spiritual depth, often drawing on classical themes and Buddhist philosophy. These scrolls evoke the cycle of time, seasonal transition, and contemplative harmony, making them ideal for display in tea rooms, meditation spaces, or seasonal interiors. Kenko’s brushwork and use of subtle gradients reflect the refined aesthetics of late Edo and Meiji-period painting.
