with signature 'Takeyasu sha' 武保写 and seal 'Yosai' 容斎
Softly emerging from a veil of mist, this hanging scroll—attributed to Kikuchi Yosai (1788–1878)—presents a tranquil vision of a hazy moon suspended above an understated landscape. The restrained palette and delicate modulation of tone echo Yosai’s versatility, shaped by his study of Kano and Tosa traditions as well as his later engagement with Western techniques. Known primarily for his historical paintings, Yosai brought the same disciplined sensitivity to quieter subjects, allowing atmosphere and suggestion to carry the emotional weight of the scene. The work bears the signature “Takeyasu sha” and the seal “Yosai,” elements that complement the scroll’s gentle, contemplative mood. Accompanied by its wooden storage box, the piece offers a refined glimpse into the poetic side of a painter celebrated for his broad mastery across Japanese, Chinese, and Western styles.
