Japanese-style painter of the Taisho and Showa periods. Born in Mie Prefecture. Studied the Maruyama school under Imao Keinen. Specialized in flower-and-bird paintings.

with signature and seal 'Keiju' 景樹

Rendered with a refined balance of color and empty space, this kakejiku captures a kingfisher perched lightly on a stem of silver grass, its vivid green and orange plumage standing out against the quiet, uncluttered background. The poised stillness of the bird, contrasted with the gentle curve of the grass, creates a composition that feels both alert and serene. Subtle gradations of pigment and confident, economical brushwork highlight the painter’s sensitivity to seasonal atmosphere and the delicate tension between motion and rest. The scroll bears the signature and seal “Keijū” (景樹), reflecting the artist’s assured handling of bird‑and‑flower subjects. It is accompanied by its original box (Tomobako), underscoring the care with which the work has been preserved.
