Description :
This Japanese grape vine scroll is a stunning example of traditional East Asian ink and watercolor artistry, ideal for collectors who appreciate botanical themes and cultural symbolism. Japanese Grape Vine Scroll Dimensions: Approximately 31½ x 88 inches Medium: Ink and watercolor on paper Style: Traditional East Asian scroll painting Origin: Likely Japanese, based on stylistic elements and calligraphy Composition: A central basket overflowing with multicolored grapes—yellow, green, red—symbolizing abundance and seasonal richness. Surrounding clusters of dark purple grapes hang from twisting vines, rendered with expressive brushwork and tonal depth. The interplay of color and ink creates a dynamic yet harmonious balance between realism and stylization. Calligraphy: Located in the lower right, the inscription includes poetic phrasing and what appears to be the artist’s signature and studio name. Transcribed characters (approximate): 果豐貿樂果 / 元之年松春 / 寫作兆裕齋傅 These may reference themes of fruitfulness, seasonal joy, and the artist’s studio or lineage. Grapes in East Asian art often symbolize prosperity, fertility, and the rewards of labor. Scrolls like this were traditionally displayed seasonally or gifted to mark auspicious occasions. The large format and vibrant palette make this piece especially striking, suitable for both decorative and scholarly appreciation. Artwork Overview
