Original Description
Painted by Maruyama Ōkyo (1733–1795), Spring and Autumn Moon (4 Works) exemplifies the refined elegance of Edo-period Japanese art while blending naturalism with lyrical poeticism. This series of four delicate paintings captures the moon's luminous beauty against seasonal landscapes – tender spring blossoms contrasted with melancholic autumn foliage – rendered in subtle ink wash and light mineral pigments. As the founder of the Maruyama-Shijō school, Ōkyo revolutionized Japanese painting by incorporating Western observational techniques into traditional themes, creating works that feel astonishingly alive yet steeped in classical waka poetry sentiment. These scrolls represent a pinnacle of kacho-ga (bird-and-flower painting), where meticulous detail coexists with expressive blank space, embodying the Japanese aesthetic principle of ma (negative space). Held in collections like the Kyoto National Museum, they signify Japan's artistic transition during the Tokugawa era, where scholarly Chinese influences gracefully merged with indigenous decorative sensibilities.
For interior styling, select a minimalist tokonoma alcove or office meditation corner to honor these scrolls’ contemplative essence. Frame them individually in slender black lacquer frames with museum-quality UV glass, spacing 10–12 inches apart to echo the original scroll format. Ideal for rooms with shoji screen dividers or Mid-Century Modern furniture, the paintings’ silvery-grey tones harmonize beautifully with indigo textiles, pale oak wood tones, or limestone surfaces. For larger spaces, commission a custom floating panel mounting that recreates the scrolls’ vertical rhythm at 3/4 scale (approximately 45" height). Pair with a solitary ikebana arrangement or celadon ceramic vessel to enhance the wabi-sabi atmosphere, avoiding competing artwork within the same sightline. Lighting should be indirect – consider LED picture lights at 2700K color temperature to simulate moonlight glow upon the delicate brushwork.
