A lyrical and seasonally evocative hanging scroll by Imai Keiju (今井景樹), a Kyoto-based painter active in the early to mid-20th century. Known for his refined brushwork and poetic sensibility, Keiju specialized in nihonga compositions that celebrate the quiet beauty of nature. This work depicts a delicate scene of weeping cherry blossoms (shidare-zakura) beneath a hazy spring moon (oborozuki)—a motif deeply rooted in Japanese aesthetics and classical poetry. The soft petals and misty moonlight evoke themes of transience (mujō) and emotional subtlety, inviting quiet contemplation. Executed with gentle ink washes and restrained color, the painting reflects Keiju’s mastery of atmosphere and seasonal nuance. The scroll is housed in a wooden storage box, suitable for protection and presentation. A graceful and culturally resonant piece for collectors of nihonga, seasonal Japanese painting, and Kyoto school works.
