Kakemono with depiction of Red Mount Fuji and flowering plum trees, signed Taizan

Hanging scroll (kakemono), a colorful ink painting on silk. The landscape depicts one of Japan's most famous shots of Mount Fuji - the so-called "Red Fuji" (Aka Fuji), visible at dawn when the peak takes on an intense purple hue. At the bottom of the composition is a branch of a flowering plum tree with white and red flowers (kōhaku bai), symbolizing prosperity, joy and the coming of spring.
The scroll is preserved in its original decorative silk binding, complete with a wooden (paulownia wood) and cardboard box described with the title of the work. The work is signed with the name Taizan, both on the scroll itself and inside the box.
