The tradition of #kakemono and #emakimono is closely related to other forms of #JapaneseArt 🎌, such as #byōbu. Byōbu are folding screens 🖼️ that feature painted scenes, often with narrative elements. This art form create a rich visual narrative expression in Japanese culture, reflecting the interconnectedness of art, literature, and daily life. Here are a few shots of examples of byōbu that I was able to collect during my recent visits to museums:

Dragon and Tiger (detail), attributed to Tosa Mitsutsugu (active ca. 1624-1644), pair of six-fold screens (byōbu), ink on paper Japan, first half 17th century. Tiger and dragon symbolize the duality of heaven and earth. In China, their cosmological meaning referred to the eastern and western directions, spring and fall, rain and wind, and the elements of wood and metal. In Japan, the dragon and tiger are associated as a pair with two hanging scrolls dated 1269 by the Chan monk painter Muqi in the possession of Daitoku-ji in Kyoto. , Here, the placement of the dragon on the right and the tiger on the far left creates an exciting space in between. Diagonally swept brushstrokes suggest rain in the dragon depiction, while the waving bamboo leaves in the tiger picture suggest wind. Seen in an exhibition at the Museum für Ostasiatische Kunst, Cologne, in August 2024.

#Kakemono (jap. 掛け物, lit. "#HangingScroll") are a prominent feature in traditional #JapaneseArt. Designed to be displayed vertically in alcoves called #tokonoma (床の間), they are used, for instance, in settings like the #TeaCeremony. The art of kakemono centers around the aesthetics of simplicity and seasonal change, making it a dynamic element of Japanese decor. Here is a brief summary of its history and significance:

Ensemble of three Chinese hanging scrolls (guàtú), exhibited in the 50 Years – 50 Treasures exhibition at the Museum für Ostasiatische Kunst, Cologne.

Daffodils on Taihu Rock from the ensemble above, Zhang Mu (1607-1687), ink and colors on paper, China, Qing dynasty, Kangxi period, dated 1670. The daffodil symbolizes happiness and prosperity, the tuft is associated with a group of immortals. The holey garden rock, which is traditionally harvested from Lake Taihu in Jiangsu, is also known as the “Stone of Long Life” (shoushi).

Begging Monks, Returning Monks (1895-1954). Pair of hanging scrolls, ink on paper, hanging scroll (kakemono), inscriptions Deiryū, 20th century, after 1945, Japan. Zen monks traditionally used the art of the brush to cultivate their relationships with patrons and other monks, but it was not until the 18th century that the practice of using art to popularize Zen teachings among large sections of the population emerged. Gestural performance and spontaneity played an increasingly important role. This tradition continued into the 20th century and was referred to as zenga (Zen painting). Izawa Deiry, abbot of Enpuku-ji near Kyoto, is one of the best-known representatives of zenga. He simplified the composition and the individual figures to minimal lines, dots and circles. Seen in an exhibition at the Museum für Ostasiatische Kunst, Cologne

Amida-Buddha, Mineral paint and gold on silk, hanging scroll (kakemono), Japan, late Muromachi period, early 16th century. The Buddha of the West with his paradise of Jōdo, the Pure Land, is one of the most important, most frequently depicted figures of the Buddhist pantheon. In the 13th century, the cult figures were shown not just between the mountains but alse floating down on “moving” clouds, thereby reflecting the inner turmoil of the devout and their hope of early redemption. Seen in an exhibition at the Museum für Ostasiatische Kunst, Cologne.

棟方志功羅漢羅怙羅尊者 Munakata Shikö (1903 - 1975) Arhat Rahula (Rakan Ragora). Japan, Showa period, 1939, woodblock print mounted as a hanging scroll, ink on paper. Munakata Shiko is regarded as one of the great individualist woodblock artists in 20th century, Japan.

Originally trained in oil painting, he created his prints on his own (i.e. without the help of block carvers and / or printers) as artistic graphics. However, the themes of his prints are often taken from tradition and refer to Buddhism or folk tales. He was close to the so-called Folk Craft Movement, and enjoyed an international career. He won awards for his prints at the São Paulo Biennial in 1955 and the Biennale di Venezia in 1956. The group of works decorated in São Paulo contained this print. Ragora, depicted here, is commonly regarded as the eleventh in a group of sixteen rakan and son of the historical Buddha. However, in Munakata's work he is one of a group of ten disciples of the Buddha, which is especially venerated in the tradition of Buddhism known as Zen.
