Sanshi Kakejiku 掛軸 山水図 - Attributed to Takashima Hokkai 高島北海 - Japan
Detailed ink paintings are drawn on silk.
It's a wonderful hanging scroll.
There is a little sunburn all over, but it is in good condition.
Takashima Hokkai (September 26, 1850 - January 10, 1931) was a Japanese painter from the Meiji to Taisho periods. His real name is Tokuzo. His third daughter is Aiko Takashima, a film actress.
Taught by his father, he loved drawing from an early age, but later began studying seriously with Gakusen Oba, a native of Tokuyama (present-day Shunan City, Yamaguchi Prefecture) . He spent half his life as a technical official in the new Meiji government, and based on his deep knowledge of botany, he created fresh mountain landscape paintings that added sketching techniques to Nanga.
Since the 1990s, he has been reevaluated as a pioneering topographer [1] , geologist [2] , and geographer [3] before the establishment of modern academia.
