馨印 Keiin Japanese art kakejiku kakemono wall hanging scroll / Monkey Trying Catch Bee and Persimmon Tree with Box RE129

with signature and seal 'Keiin' 馨印

This hanging scroll depicts a lively and humorous scene of a monkey reaching toward a bee among the branches of a persimmon tree, a subject traditionally associated with wit, curiosity, and playful vitality in Japanese painting. The composition balances expressive brushwork with gentle washes, allowing the monkey’s animated gesture to stand out against the softly rendered background. The work is signed and sealed “Keiin” (馨印), and reflects a refined yet approachable style that blends narrative charm with painterly restraint. The combination of animal subject and seasonal motif gives the piece both decorative appeal and symbolic nuance, making it engaging without excess ornamentation. The scroll is accompanied by a storage box, indicating careful preservation, and is well suited for tokonoma display or a collection of traditional Japanese kakejiku.
