| Dark trees shoot vacant branches up to the cool winter sun, a pair of huts sheltered beyond a cluster of barren rock in the distance, a daunting ink painting by Mizuta Kenzan dated an autumn day in 1922 and signed Kenzan enclosed in the original signed wooden box. The ink on paper scene is bordered in pale green-beige patterned silk with rosewood rollers capped with ivory. The scroll measures 26-1/2 by 52 inches (67 x 132 cm). There is some bubbling in the silk border and minor cresing in the paintng; otherwise the scroll is in excellent condition. Mizuta Kenzan (1903-1988) was a fixture in the Japanese Nanga world. He was born in Osaka and where he studied under his brother Chikuho (1883-1958), and moved to Kyoto in 1918. He displayed with the Nihon Nanga-In Exhibition, where he was awarded in 1921, and took top prize at the prestigious Nitten National Exhibition the following year. | |||||||||
