{"product_id":"two-koi-kakejiku-hanging-scroll-charcoal-orange-marked-white","title":"Two Koi Kakejiku Hanging Scroll, Charcoal and Orange-Marked White Carp in Teal Water, Gold Brocade, Vintage","description":"\u003cdiv class=\"jp-product\" data-world=\"Painted \u0026amp; Printed\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"jp-lede\"\u003eTwo koi glide through deep teal-blue water in this vintage Japanese kakejiku, a charcoal fish with finely patterned scales above a larger white koi marked in vivid orange and black. Faint submerged silhouettes deepen the water, and warm gold brocade frames a scene that is serene without feeling static.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Piece\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper fish is rendered in charcoal gray with carefully patterned scales and a warm golden tone along its underside. Beneath it swims a larger white koi with orange and black patches. Faint submerged fish silhouettes in the background are intentional elements of the composition, adding movement, depth and underwater atmosphere.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe horizontal aquatic painting is mounted within a traditional vertical hanging scroll. Warm gold floral brocade surrounds the central artwork, and golden-brown textile panels complete the upper and lower mounting. An artist's inscription and vermilion seal appear at the lower-right corner of the image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKoi are associated in Japanese and wider East Asian decorative traditions with perseverance, vitality, courage, advancement and good fortune, and a pair may also suggest companionship, balance and harmony. Meanings vary, and the scroll is offered as a fine example of Japanese fish imagery rather than as a guaranteed spiritual or feng shui object. The calm rhythm of teal water and overlapping fish, lit by the orange markings, suits a living room, study, dining room, tea room, meditation space or hospitality setting, or a collection of koi and Asian nature art.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDetails\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"jp-details\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEra:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vintage\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Japan\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kakejiku (hanging scroll); horizontal painting within a vertical scroll\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSubject:\u003c\/strong\u003e Two koi carp: charcoal koi with golden underside; white koi with orange and black patches; faint submerged fish forms\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSignature:\u003c\/strong\u003e Artist's inscription and vermilion seal at lower right; the reading is undetermined\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ink and colored pigment on what appears to be a finely textured textile or textile-like surface\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep teal-blue, charcoal, white, orange, black and gold\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gold floral brocade-style surround; golden-brown upper and lower panels; hanging cord and lower scroll rod\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCondition\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVintage and pre-owned, with natural signs of age, handling, storage and previous display; it should not be expected to look factory new.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight surface waviness or creasing, small marks or spots, and minor discoloration or tonal variation may be present.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight wear to the artwork and textile mounting, and age-related wear to the hanging cord and scroll components.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe faint fish forms in the teal background appear to be intentional parts of the composition rather than damage.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe photographs show the actual piece and form an essential part of the condition record; colors may vary slightly with lighting and screen settings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAttribution Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe close-up photographs should be examined when judging whether the artwork is painted, printed, hand-finished or produced through a combination of techniques.
