古市金峨 Furuichi Kinga (1805-1880)

A soft, seasonal atmosphere settles across the paired scrolls, the quiet presence of the Java sparrow and the shifting tones of wisteria and autumn grasses creating a gentle contrast that reflects the differing sensibilities of two painters working in harmony; Furuichi Kinga (1805–1880), a late Edo to Meiji artist from Kurashiki who trained in the Shijo school under Okamoto Toyohiko before later incorporating elements of nanga, and Okamoto Kinpa (1823–1896), his student active around Okayama, each contribute a distinct hand, with the upper signature ‘Kinga’ and the seal ‘Ranzan Shofu’ marking one scroll, and the signature ‘Kinpa’ with the seal ‘Koryo in’ marking the other, while the pair is accompanied by its box, allowing the quiet dialogue between spring and autumn motifs to settle into a balanced, enduring presence.
