Sunday, 22 July 2007 Kakemono Painting: Ascending Dragon and Fuji Artist: Hokusai Format: Painting in sumi and slight colour on paper mounted on silk brocades: image size 9" x 14" Subject: A painting in sumi and slight colour for the eyes, of a Dragon clawing its way up through a cloud, Mount Fuji in the background. Bearing the signature 'Hachiju-yon ro Manji hitsu' (Painted by Manji, old man of eighty-four). The 'Katsushika' seal used on this painting corresponds exactly to that used for a contemporary painting (1840) by Hokusai now in the British Museum Collection of a Young Man on a Bench. See Clark, Ukiyo-e Paintings in the British Museum, #101 page 151. The signature corresponds to the following item, a fan painting of a Traveller Viewing a Distant Landscape, to be found at #102 page 152. The subject matter of Dragons was one frequently used by Hokusai. This small painting bears strong similarities to Hokusai's design for a Dragon and Fuji used in his book 100 Views of Fuji; and also to a massive painting (twelve feet in height) of a full length Dragon in black clouds, once in the K. Homma Collection (whereabouts now unknown), exhibited at the Japan Fine Arts Association, Tokyo 30th January 1900. See Catalogue #195. Date: 1843 Condition: Some old wear to painting which has been expensively re-mounted as a kakemono in silks with bone roller ends (with wooden box). Generally fine state of preservation.
