Ink and light color on paper dated 1913 with applied gold flake in a purple border decorated with gold designs enclosed in a black lacquer wooden frame. A scholar stares from the window of his hermitage, perhaps remembering the fading back of his friend as he wandered west away on the adjacent screen. Yet now the plums are blossoming, the promise of spring in the air. A lone boat in the far distance serves to accentuate his solitude, yet, is this perhaps his friend, returning from afar?

The forlorn figure of a loan sage gains distance as we watch, moving away astride the back of a broken mule on the dark, age grayed paper canvas. His oversized hat, the only shelter from the rain, extracts empathy for the traveler and the discomforts of his journey. The painting appears to be following the style of the Edo Soga painters (ref. Shohaku) in the original Edo silk border with bone rollers enclosed in an antique lacquered kiri-wood box with doe-skin ties. The scroll is signed Araki ...click for details
