Description

A dramatic and finely executed silk scroll painting by Japanese artist Sakuba, complete with its original storage box.. The Scroll depicting a tiger poised on a rocky outcrop beneath a full moon. The bold brushwork and subtle washes capture the animal’s raw intensity—mouth agape, muscles taut—symbolic of strength and courage in East Asian tradition. Set against misty mountains and windswept trees, the scene evokes solitude and wild majesty. The scroll is bordered in ornate brocade and mounted on a wooden panel for display. Likely mid-20th century, this piece reflects technical mastery and cultural depth. A striking decorative work, ideal for collectors of Japanese art or those drawn to expressive wildlife imagery.

Every single antique dealer on our platform is individually approved by our internal team. We verify their professional trade history, ethical standards, and photographic quality to ensure a secure, high-standard buying environment. Upon joining, every dealer agrees to a strict 9-point code of conduct. While issues can occasionally arise, our dealers typically resolve them swiftly and directly with the buyer. In fact, since our founding in 2002, Sellingantiques has only had to step in to help resolve an issue on roughly five occasions—a true testament to the quality of our dealers and their dedication to your happiness.

FAQs

A hanging scroll, known as a kakejiku, is a traditional Japanese scroll used for displaying paintings and calligraphy on a wall, designed to be rolled up for storage.

These scrolls are typically constructed using fine silk or paper for the main painting, mounted on various fabrics, bordered with brocade, and fitted with wooden rollers at the base.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the quality of the silk or paper, the ageing of the pigments, traditional mounting techniques, and the presence of artist signatures or seals.

A hanging scroll serves as a striking vertical focal point in a minimalist space, often displayed in a dedicated alcove or on a neutral wall to emphasise its craftsmanship.

Scrolls should be kept away from direct sunlight and high humidity to prevent fading and mould, and they must be stored rolled loosely in protective boxes when not on display.
