硯水 Kensui Japanese art kakejiku kakemono wall hanging scroll / Hazy Moon and Cherry Blossoms with Original Box (Tomobako) RE152

with signature and seal 'Kensui' 硯水

This hanging scroll depicts a serene scene of cherry blossoms in bloom beneath a softly glowing hazy moon, rendered with gentle brushwork and restrained elegance. The composition balances delicacy and depth, with pale blossoms emerging from subtly toned branches, while the moon’s diffused presence creates a quiet, contemplative atmosphere suggestive of early spring and the fleeting beauty of the season. The muted palette and controlled use of negative space allow the viewer’s eye to rest, embodying a refined aesthetic closely associated with classical Japanese painting. The work is signed and sealed “Kensui”, and while little emphasis is placed on the artist, the brush technique and compositional sensitivity reflect a practiced hand attuned to poetic nuance rather than overt display. The scroll is mounted in a traditional format with wooden roller ends and is accompanied by its original tomobako, indicating careful preservation. As is typical for antique works, there are age-related conditions including light staining, minor creases, folds, slight warping, and staining to the reverse of the mounting; these are consistent with age and use and do not detract from the overall calm presence and appreciation of the painting.
