荒木十畝 Araki Jippo (1872-1944)
Japanese painter in Nagasaki during the Meiji and early Showa periods. Studied under 荒木寛畝 Araki Kanpo (1831-1915) and later became his son-in-law. He specialized in flower-and-bird paintings and exhibited his works at the Bunten and Teiten Exhibitions.

with signature 'Jippo sha' 十畝 写 and seal 'Bokutei' 木悌

This refined hanging scroll by Araki Jippo (1872–1944)—a leading painter of the Kyoto art world and a pivotal figure of the Shijō school—offers a serene and poetic vision of the Japanese autumn. With effortless brushwork and exquisite restraint, Jippo depicts a delicate spray of autumn grasses, a single blue bellflower, and a gracefully arching crescent moon, creating a composition that is both spacious and deeply atmospheric. Jippo’s characteristic elegance is fully present here: the extremely fine ink lines, the soft modulation of color, and the generous negative space evoke the quiet beauty of early autumn nights. The scene embodies the classical Japanese aesthetic of wabi-sabi—a sense of tranquility, seasonality, and refined simplicity. The scroll is accompanied by its original signed tomobako (wooden storage box), bearing the artist’s inscription and seal. This enhances both the artwork's authenticity and its value for collectors. A graceful and contemplative work that brings the poetry of the Japanese seasons into any interior.
