This elegant Japanese hanging scroll features a rising sun (asahi) above rolling waves, painted by Imai Keiju (1891–1967), a respected Nihonga artist known for his refined compositions and symbolic clarity.
In Japanese aesthetics:
- The rising sun symbolizes renewal, vitality, and spiritual awakening.
- The waves evoke movement, purification, and the rhythm of nature.
- Together, they form a composition that reflects harmony between stillness and motion, a theme deeply rooted in Zen and seasonal expression.
The scroll is accompanied by its original tomobako (signed wooden box), confirming provenance and ensuring safe preservation. Ideal for display in tea rooms, meditation spaces, or seasonal interiors, this piece offers both visual elegance and contemplative depth.
