伊藤渓水 Ito Keisui (1879-1967)

with signature and seal 'Keisui' 渓水

Gently balanced between the moods of spring and autumn, this paired set of hanging scrolls by Ito Keisui (1879–1967) unfolds with a quiet, lyrical grace. One scroll captures the soft glow of a crescent moon behind cascading weeping cherry blossoms, their pale petals drifting downward as if carried by a faint night breeze. Its companion presents the fullness of autumn: a luminous moon rising over tall silver grass where a small bell cricket rests, adding a delicate, living accent to the stillness. Keisui—born in Aichi and trained under Hirai Chokusui and Yamamoto Shunkyo—brings a refined sensitivity to each seasonal motif, drawing on the elegance that shaped his career in the Teiten and Bunten exhibitions. Signed and sealed “Keisui”, the pair reflects his mature command of atmosphere, rhythm, and poetic restraint. Accompanied by their box, the scrolls have been carefully preserved. Displayed together, they create a serene dialogue between spring’s gentle awakening and autumn’s quiet depth, enriching any interior with a subtle, contemplative presence.
