We restore many old scrolls where the painting deserves new mounts.
Some scrolls have not had the best life in their existence and creating new silk top and
bottom mounts and inner frame mounts can happily bring these old paintings back to life. . This is an example.

Sages in a Bamboo Grove62x190cm 24.4x 74.8 4 Recently restored with beautiful silk mounts. £190

This amazing almost abstract drawing is by the late 19th early 20th century painter Kotei .

I would like to say that this scroll is absolutely one of my favourite Sumie -Ink paintings for its almost impressionist delivery. I think its almost modernist . You decide. It is precisely from this style of painting that the great impressionist started to understand that less is more and that a few graceful strokes could depict a landscape without all the detail.

There was some damage on the painting but we managed to do what we could and after mounting I believe that we have brought back to life a truly wonderful example of Sumi Sansui Ga painting

The evening sun over the winter landscape casting long shadows through the grove of trees on the hill is quite remarkable. Its a very old painting which has now been enhanced by its new silks and period wood ends

Notes on Sliding screen doors: Fusuma shouji-e 襖障子絵. Paintings on sliding-door panels

Fusuma (襖) are vertical rectangular panels which can slide from side to side to redefine spaces within a room, or act as doors. They typically measure about 90 centimetres (3.0 ft) wide by 180 centimetres (5.9 ft) tall, the same size as a tatami mat, and are two or three centimetres thick. . They consist of a lattice-like wooden under structure covered in cardboard and a layer of paper or cloth on both sides. They typically have a black lacquer border and a round finger catch. Both fusuma and shoji (sheer, translucent paper room dividers) run on wooden rails at the top and bottom. The upper rail is called a kamoi (鴨居^?), literally "duck's place", and the lower is called a shikii (敷居^?). Traditionally these were waxed, but nowadays they usually have a vinyl lubricating strip to ease movement of the fusuma and shōji.The panels slide along grooves at the top and bottom of the door frame and function as doors and room dividers.
--------------------

The term *shouji-e 障子絵 was popular during the Heian period and still used interchangeably with fusuma-e, but the latter term is more commonly heard today. In addition, the term shouji-e in the strict sense includes paintings on free-standing screens, tsuitate 衝立, as well as fusuma-e. The earliest reference to paintings on sliding doors in Japan comes in the 8c in the Shousouin 正倉院 records from 762 . Although no paintings survive from the Heian period, many literary and pictorial references suggest that paintings on sliding doors were popular interior decorations in the shinden style, *shinden-zukuri 寝殿造, architecture employed for the palaces and residences of courtiers. Most extant fusuma paintings date from 15c on, and were done in ink painting, *suibokuga 水墨画, painting with bright colors against gold background, *kinpekiga 金碧画, and *yamato-e やまと絵. Fusuma-e were sometimes taken off their sliding door frames (in which case they are called mekuri めくり) and re-mounted onto folding screens, *byoubu 屏風, or large hanging scrolls,*kakejiku 掛軸, for preservation.
