古市金峨 Furuichi Kinga (1805-1880) Japanese art Kakejiku kakemono wall hanging scroll / Hazy Moon and White Plum Tree with Box RE427

古市金峨 Furuichi Kinga (1805-1880)
Painter of the late Edo and Meiji periods. Born in Kurashiki City, Okayama Prefecture. Studied the Shijo School paintings under Okamoto Toyohiko in Kyoto. Around 1830, he returned to his hometown Kurashiki and opened a painting school. In his later years, he broadened the scope of his work by adopting Nanga painting.

with signature 'Kinga' 金峨

Softly illuminated by a hazy moon, this kakejiku presents a white plum tree whose branches extend diagonally across the composition, the blossoms rendered with a quiet clarity that enhances the scene’s poetic stillness. The interplay between the pale moonlight and the subtle ink gradations creates a sense of depth, allowing the viewer to feel the cool air and early‑spring atmosphere suggested by the plum motif. The restrained brushwork and spacious arrangement emphasize the elegance of negative space, drawing attention to the delicate contrast between dark branches and luminous blossoms. The scroll bears the signature “Kinga” (金峨), reflecting the painter’s refined sensibility in seasonal subjects. It is accompanied by a preservation box, consistent with traditional storage practices for hanging scrolls.
