雨滴声 Utekisei Japanese antique art kakejiku kakemono wall hanging scroll / Monkey Family and Lily Flower, Butterfly with Box RE412

with signature 'Utekisei' 雨滴声 and seal 'Santo koji' 三東居士 'Utekisei in' 雨滴声印

Set against a softly aged ground, this evocative hanging scroll captures an intimate natural vignette in which a monkey and its young rest beneath blooming lilies, while a butterfly drifts lightly through the humid air, suggesting a quiet moment after rainfall. The composition unfolds vertically with gentle restraint, allowing the figures to emerge gradually from the surrounding space, their forms rendered with subdued warmth and humane expression rather than dramatic emphasis. The lilies rise with graceful simplicity, their pale blossoms and curved stems introducing a subtle rhythm that contrasts with the rounded stillness of the monkeys, while the butterfly adds a fleeting sense of motion and seasonal life. The muted palette and softened outlines enhance the contemplative mood, inviting close viewing and reflection, and the presence of the artist’s signature “Utekisei” anchors the work within a personal pictorial voice, while its preservation with an accompanying box underscores the care with which this quietly poetic scene has been valued and transmitted over time.
