Original Description
Gyokuho Hasegawa’s Un Serpent Blanc (kakemono) is a mesmerizing blend of traditional Japanese ink painting and poetic symbolism. The elongated scroll format gracefully depicts a sinuous white serpent coiled against a muted background, rendered with delicate yet confident brushstrokes that evoke both elegance and mystery. Created in the early 20th century during Japan’s transitional period between ukiyo-e and modern Nihonga styles, Hasegawa’s work bridges classical refinement and subtle experimentation. The serpent—often representing regeneration or divine messengers in East Asian mythology—adds an enigmatic quality, while the restrained monochrome palette highlights mastery of ink tonalities. This piece stands as a fine example of how Japanese artists reinterpreted traditional themes with subtle modernity, earning distinction among collectors of late Edo and Meiji-era kakemonos.
For interior styling, Un Serpent Blanc shines as a focal point in minimalist or Zen-inspired spaces. Hang it in a study or meditative corner where its vertical format (typical of kakemono, around 60x150cm) complements high ceilings or narrow walls. Pair it with natural materials like walnut wood frames or woven bamboo accents to echo its organic subject. The monochrome palette allows flexibility—introduce muted earth tones (taupe, slate) or a single bold hue (deep indigo or emerald) to create contrast without overwhelming the artwork. In offices, position it near uncluttered surfaces to balance its dynamic energy with calm, reinforcing sophistication. Avoid overly ornate surroundings; let the serpent’s graceful movement command attention, enhancing spaces that value contemplation and refined aesthetics.*
