This serene hanging scroll by Kobayashi Gokyo (1872–1928), a distinguished painter of the Shijō School, presents a minimalist yet evocative composition titled “Rising Sun and Calm Wave.” A soft orange sun ascends through misty clouds, casting gentle light over a tranquil body of water. The delicate brushwork and restrained palette reflect the Shijō School’s emphasis on naturalism and poetic atmosphere. Gokyo, a pupil of Imao Keinen, was known for his refined landscapes and bird-and-flower paintings. His international recognition includes honors at the St. Louis World's Fair, attesting to his global appeal during the Meiji and Taishō periods. The scroll bears the signature “Gokyo hitsu” (呉橋筆) and seal “Nichishosai” (日昇斎), affirming its authenticity. The composition’s quiet luminosity and meditative tone make it ideal for contemplative display, embodying the Japanese aesthetic of yūgen—subtle profundity.
