His family name was Nonomura, his given name was Ietsu, his courtesy name was Inen and his artist’s name was Taiseiken. He ran a workshop known as ‘Tawaraya’ and, in collaboration with Honami Kōetsu, produced masterpieces of bold and decorative Yamato-e and ink wash painting, including the ‘Folding Screens Depicting the Wind and Thunder Gods’ and the ‘Folding Screens Depicting Scenes from The Tale of Genji’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e和合神図 Wagojin Zu\u003cbr\u003eGod who controls the harmony between men and women, marital harmony, good fortune, and financial fortune.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ewith signature 'Sotatsu' 宗達 and seal 'Soken' 宗謙\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA gentle sense of auspicious harmony settles over this depiction of Wagojin, rendered with the poised clarity associated with Tawaraya Sōtatsu (active 1600–1650). The figures sit in quiet balance, their forms outlined with the confident, unhurried brushwork that marks early‑Edo decorative painting. Soft ink tones shape their robes and expressions, while the lotus rising between them introduces a calm vertical rhythm that anchors the composition. Sōtatsu’s signature “Sotatsu” and the seal “Soken” appear with understated authority, echoing the refined sensibility of the Tawaraya workshop. The mounting is distinguished by deer‑antler roller ends, a detail that adds both rarity and a tactile sense of age, enhancing the scroll’s presence as an object as well as a painting. Accompanied by its box, the work carries an atmosphere of quiet blessing: Wagojin, the deity of harmony, marital accord, and good fortune, introduces a subtle steadiness into the space where the scroll is displayed. Over time, its balanced forms and gentle symbolism have a way of softening the room’s energy, encouraging a sense of unity, calm, and continuity—qualities that tend to settle naturally into the life of the person who lives with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhole dimensions: 19.6\" W x 70.1\" H \/ 49.8cm x 178.2cm\u003cbr\u003eInside dimensions: 12.7\" W x 36.2\" H \/ 32.4cm x 92.2cm\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaterial: Paper\u003cbr\u003eTechnique: Handpainted\u003cbr\u003eRoller ends: Deer Horn\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 610g including Box\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAntique items have originally crease, stain, damage, and more.
