Bare trees rise up from mist in this slightly sinister screen by Yasuda Hanpo dated Autumn 1925. An ox stands, symbol of strength and solitude, in the deftly brushed landscape. In the distance birds take to the dark sky. The ink has been allowed to diffuse into the paper creating a mystical aura around the heavy creature. It is performed with ink on paper, mounted on gold with vibrant red lacquer frame. Each panel is 28 x 67-1/2 inches (71 x 172 cm) and is in excellent condition, retaining the original cloth backing. Yasuda Hanpo (1889-1947), originally of Niigata, studied the Nanga style under Himejima Chikugai, living and working in Osaka. He was a consistent exhibitor and awarded on several occasions in the Bunten, Teiten and Nitten National Exhibitions. His works are held in the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum of Modern Art.
