This scroll was purchased in an auction and was remounted by myself
. I used the concepts of 寒色・暖色 (Kanshoku/Danshoku), which means cool colors/warm colors respectively. The waterfall is a summer theme motif in Japanese art. In mounting, a common technique is to use colors of the opposite season. So if it is hot in summer, you want to use cool colors to affect the viewer positively with the opposite feeling of the color.
What I love with this painting is the small birds flying across the waterfall. It really brings this painting to life.
Sometimes I have had difficulty with uki after applying the urauchi while working with silk paintings. However this one turned out close to perfect.
