Sanso Collection #142 Small Landscape with man on bridge by Gyokudo

This is another print done of the original. It is a small painting by the Japanese artist Gyokudo. Below is some information about the artist.

 Kawai Gyokudō - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org › wiki › Kawai_Gyokudō Kawai Gyokudō (川合 玉堂, November 24, 1873 – June 30, 1957) was the pseudonym of a Japanese painter in the nihonga school, active from Meiji through Shōwa period Japan. His real name was Kawai Yoshisaburō.

This scroll has three distinct cloths. It is in the Butsu Hyougu style. The purple gives feelings of the Autumn season with the deep golds. The dark cloth compliments the overall feel of the scroll.
