Autumn Waterfall into River.

Artist is Maeda Ichiou (1890-1939)
Born in Gifu prefecture, his other name was Kenichi and was taught by Yamamoto Sunkyo. He lived until the age of 49.

The seal (seal script can be hard to decipher) but its more like a short line poem of the uguisu or a Bush Warbler, which relates the the artist's name Ichiou which is 'a bush warbler'.
This is a absolutely beautiful Sansui ga, landscape, of a waterfall through autumn leaves. The light that has been captured by this artist is quite stunning and the balance of the subject has been extremely well done. Flocks of birds fly through the leaves and in front of the waterfall and the entire image is full of life and movement. Painted on silk this Sansui ga has all the elements that you would like to see in a landscape painting . The mounts are in very good condition. On a personal note this has, without doubt, been  one of my favourite scrolls in this genre. 70.1x 23.1 inches
