This stunning hanging scroll, Hoju, by the celebrated Edo-period artist Ito Jakuchu (1716–1800), features a traditional depiction of treasures, including sacred jewels and treasure bags, symbolizing good fortune. The piece, rendered on paper with ink, beautifully captures Jakuchu’s unique use of brushwork. Measuring 30.5 x 55.5 cm (total size: 123 x 69 cm), it is housed in a protective box and is in excellent condition. Jakuchu, born in Kyoto to a prosperous vegetable merchant family, shifted from managing the family business to pursuing a life of art at age 40. His work is renowned for its vivid use of color and bold compositions, whether in richly painted scrolls or dynamic ink paintings. Jakuchu’s distinctive style, particularly in his masterpiece Colorful Realm of Living Beings, reflects a deep connection to Buddhism, honoring the sacredness of all life forms.
