鳳水 Hosui Japanese art kakejiku kakemono wall hanging scroll / Beautiful Kimono Woman Gather at Seaside House in Summer with Box RE405

with signature and seal 'Hosui' 鳳水

Bathed in a warm, hazy light that suggests the height of summer, this hanging scroll presents an elegant seaside moment in which beautifully dressed women pause at a coastal pavilion, their richly patterned kimono contrasting gently with the muted tones of sea, sky, and distant boats; the composition balances intimacy and openness, drawing the eye from the quiet exchange between figures to the expansive shoreline beyond, and capturing the refined leisure and seasonal sensitivity characteristic of late Edo–Meiji genre painting; created by Hosui, an artist known for graceful bijin subjects, the work conveys a calm narrative flow rather than a frozen pose, allowing the viewer to linger within the scene; the scroll is accompanied by its storage box, adding to its completeness and suitability for both display and careful preservation.
