An early work featuring white walls in Autumn foliage by Kitamura Seigyu enclosed in the original signed double wooden box. The box appears to be titled HakuryuJi no yu (evening around Hakuryuji). There are many places named Hakuryuji in Japan, so it is difficult ot be specific, but near his home of Hokkaido, and a place he would have passed through is a Hakuryuji in mountainous and rural Akita prefecture. This work is performed with pigment and powdered silver on silk, and dates from very early in his career, likely around 1920. The scroll is 26 x 86 inches (66 x 218 cm). There is some minor foxing consistent throughout. The scene is mounted in lavender tinged bronze brocade of superb quality and features large ivory rollers (they will need to be changed if shipped outside Japan).
Kitagami Seigyu (1891-1970) was born in Hakodate, Hokaido. He came to Kyoto to study under his uncle Kitamura Shunzan, then under Takeuchi Seiho. He Exhibited and was prized with the Bunten/Teiten National Exhibitions.
