Wonderful, illustrated scroll by Kano Naganobu Birds and trees in the four seasons
[Japan] An impressive, hand painted scroll measuring almost 7 metres in length, delicately drawn and coloured. Kano Naganobu (1775-1828) was one of the masters of the Kano school of artists. Born in Edo (Tokyo), he was also a master carpenter of folding screens as well as a master of the tea ceremony. Signed at the end Isen'in Naganobu and stamped Naganobu, this scroll was probably produced by one of his protégés. Would display very nicely.
Approx. 690 x 30.2cm.
In very good condition. Some minor age wear and a few minor marks here and there. Protected nicely in more recent box. s30040115
