Vintage Japanese Sumi-e Calligraphy Scroll – 'World is at Peace'
This vintage Japanese sumi-e calligraphy scroll, signed "Kagetsu", dates back to 1964 (Showa 39). The calligraphy translates to "World is at peace," a powerful and serene sentiment that is perfectly suited to the timeless elegance of sumi-e (Japanese ink painting). The scroll's message promotes peace and harmony, themes that resonate deeply in both Japanese culture and Zen philosophy.
The artist, Kagetsu, has applied the traditional sumi-e technique, which emphasizes simplicity and the expressive use of brushstrokes, to convey a deep, meditative quality. The clean lines and fluidity of the calligraphy are hallmarks of a highly skilled practitioner of this art form. This piece captures the balance and tranquility associated with Zen thought and the idea of global peace, making it an impactful and meaningful addition to any collection.
Accompanied by a wooden box for storage, the scroll has been preserved in good condition, maintaining its beauty and integrity over the years.
