This elegant Kakejiku features a painting of a figure highly recognizable in Japanese culture, likely a Noh Actor or a figure from classical performance arts, given the robes and distinctive high, conical headwear. Rendered in a simple, muted ochre and green palette, the painting emphasises the dignity and traditional attire of the subject. The scroll is mounted with an appealing antique patina, suggesting an age that connects it to the Edo or Meiji period. This rare piece is perfect for collectors interested in the rich history of Japanese theatre, tradition, and figurative art.
