This elegant Japanese hanging scroll by Wakabayashi Shokei (1858–1938) features a powerful yet serene composition of a rising sun behind a majestic pine tree, rendered in expressive sumi ink and accented with a vivid red orb. The pine, symbol of longevity and resilience, stands firm in the foreground, its textured trunk and sweeping needles painted with confident brushwork. Behind it, the rising sun casts a warm glow, evoking renewal and quiet strength—an image deeply rooted in Japanese seasonal and spiritual aesthetics.
