| Buddhist pearls lie nestled in the cleft of a garden stone in this radically brushed large Zen scroll dated 1902 by Suzuki Shonen enclosed in the original Signed box. Bamboo shades the mushroom of eternity, and the red stone is reminiscent of a cluster of coral, from which prayer beads were popularly made. The painting is bordered in forest green brocade scattered with nobori kiri crests, and features massive ivory rollers. The scroll measures 29 1/2 x 79 1/2 inches (75 x 202 cm). Shonen learned the art of painting from Suzuki Hyakunen, and helped to establish and was a professor at the Kyoto Prefectural School of Painting (Kyoto GA-Gaku) from 1886. Incredibly influential in his lifetime, he is one who set the tone for Japanese painting from the Meiji to early Showa eras. For more on his life see Roberts Dictionary of Japanese Artists. | ||||||||||
