Attributed to 田近竹邨 Tajika Chikuson (1864-1926) Japanese art kakejiku kakemono wall hanging scroll / Blue and Green Mountains Landscape Castle and Pine Tree with Box RE302

田近竹邨 Tajika Chikuson (1864-1926)
Nanga artist of the Meiji - Taisho period. Born in Takeda, Bungo Province. Studied nanga under Fuchino Keisen, and later went to Kyoto to study under Tanomura Chokunyu at the Kyoto School of Painting. Founded the Japan Nanga Academy with Komuro Suiun, Yamada Kaido and others, and devoted himself to the development of the nanga world in the Taisho era. Died in 1926, aged 59.

Carved into a vision of layered blue‑green peaks, this hanging scroll—attributed to Tajika Chikuson (1864–1926)—unfolds a tranquil landscape where a distant castle rises among pines and mist. Although unsigned, the work displays the refined brush modulation, atmospheric depth, and classical nanga sensibility associated with Chikuson’s circle, qualities that echo his training under Fuchino Keisen and Tanomura Chokunyu. The composition guides the eye through winding slopes and softly rendered foliage, creating a sense of quiet movement that feels both scholarly and contemplative. The accompanying storage box bears the inscription identifying the subject as a blue‑and‑green landscape by Chikuson, supporting the attribution. A harmonious and skillfully executed painting that reflects the spirit of Meiji–Taisho nanga tradition
