Vintage Japanese Kakejiku (Hanging Scroll) – Hand-Painted Silk – Roses & Sparrow

This authentic Japanese kakejiku features a classic Bird and Flower (Kacho-ga) composition. Painted on silk, the artwork depicts a sparrow (suzume) perched among delicate white roses. In Japanese culture, the sparrow symbolizes joy and resilience, while the white rose represents purity. Details: • Signature and seal read “秋湖” • Handwritten identification of the Rose motif on the back side (top right corner). Condition: This is a vintage piece with signs of age that add to its character. • There is visible foxing (small brown age spots) on the silk surface, which is common for authentic scrolls. • There is a small chip on the bottom roller knob (jikusaki). The scroll remains structurally sound and displays beautifully.
