Dimensions: Hanging Scroll Approximately 1790mm (height) x 320mm (width) (scroll: approx. 375mm) Calligraphy Approximately 1010mm (height) x 300mm (width) Wooden Box Dimensions Approximately 395mm (height) x 72mm (width) x 70mm (depth) Paper Box Dimensions Approximately 300mm (height) x 75mm (width) x 70mm (depth) Thank you very much for viewing this item from the many listings on Mercari's website. The item is in good condition, and both the mounting and calligraphy are relatively clean. The paper box has a tear (photo 20). This hanging scroll is a work of calligraphy that reads "Kaimon Rakuyō Ō" (開門落葉多), and is handwritten by the historical Matsuo-ryu 11th generation Sōrin (Hokōsai). The calligraphy was written, and then the mounting was updated, and it has been passed down to the present day. "Kaimon Rakuyō Ō" (開門落葉多) seems to be a line from a Tang Dynasty poet. It is a Zen phrase that means "When the gate is opened, many fallen leaves are there." It seems to be a verse about the end of autumn and the arrival of winter, where what was thought to be the sound of rain was actually the sound of fallen leaves hitting the roof when the gate was opened in the morning, and it seems to be paired with the phrase "Uchō Kan Kō Jin" (雨聴寒更尽). I believe it is a word that symbolizes the Zen and tea ceremony spirit of quietly accepting the changes of nature. It is a piece that would be suitable not only for the autumn season but also for times when you want to enjoy a sense of tranquility. With its elegant brocade mounting, it is a masterpiece that will add a touch of style when hung in a Japanese-style room or alcove. Please check the photos for details.
