Reiwa Antiques

Miyamoto Musashi (1584–1645) was a renowned Japanese swordsman, philosopher, strategist, and artist from the early Edo period. Beyond his martial prowess, he exhibited exceptional talent in ink painting and calligraphy.

The "Pigeon on Red Plum Tree" painting is rendered in black ink on white paper, showcasing Musashi's minimalist yet expressive style. The composition features a pigeon perched on a blossoming red plum tree branch, capturing a serene and contemplative moment. The use of bold brushstrokes and negative space reflects the principles of Zen Buddhism, emphasizing simplicity and the essence of the subject.

This reproduction, created during Japan's Shōwa period (1926–1989), is mounted on a traditional hanging scroll measuring approximately 18.2 inches in width and 54.2 inches in height. The image area itself is about 11.6 inches wide and 31.3 inches tall. The scroll is crafted from silk with wooden roller ends, maintaining the authenticity of traditional Japanese scrolls.
