Dictionary of Japanese Painters & Calligraphers-SHOGA

 
Description

Shōnen Suzuki received a training from his father, Hyakunen Suzuki, the founder of the Suzuki school of painting, yet he seems not to have appreciated being taught by his father. In his early career, although his talent was undervalued, possibly because of his father’s fame, he succeeded in being accredited with his prolificacy in organising impromptu painting gatherings at the age of 22 where he managed to paint one thousand paintings a day according to guests’ demands. The artist’s pseudonym was renamed ‘Shōnen’ when he was 32, which is derived from an auspicious saying of Zen Buddhism, ‘the pine tree, a thousand years of green’. His determination to exceed his father Hyakunen (literally meaning ‘one hundred years’) can be observed through his new name.

Shōnen often painted pine trees, which are related to his name, throughout his career and this is one of those. Rough surfaces of the pine tree are successfully depicted with swift brushworks and a minimal number of brushstrokes. The mount fabric, woven in a pine needle pattern, adds extra profoundness to the work.

Our Feelings For Kakejiku

 The Japanese people have long set a high value on aesthetic senses since ancient times. As a result, the
peculiar culture which is not seen in other countries blossomed and many aspects of the modern Japanese
culture come from it. Parts of Japanese culture has been introduced to people in other countries recently,
so the number of people from other countries who are interested in Japanese culture has been increasing.
However, the Japanese aesthetic senses, which are the bases of Japanese culture, have been nurtured
through a long history, intertwining various elements intricately, such as climate, geographical features,
religion, customs and so on. Therefore, they are very difficult to understand not only for people from other
countries, but even for the Japanese people. I think the best tool which conveys these difficult senses
understandably is a “kakejiku.”
 The kakejiku (a hanging scroll; a work of calligraphy or a painting which is mounted and hung in an
alcove or on a wall) is a traditional Japanese art. It's no exaggeration to say that paintings are what
express aesthetic senses at all times and places. The kakejiku is an art which expresses the Japanese
aesthetic senses. The kakejiku has long been used in traditional Japanese events, daily life and so on since
ancient times. As a result, there are various customs of kakejiku in Japan; kakejiku and the life of the
Japanese are closely related. We can see Japanese values through kakejiku.
 The kakejiku is a cultural tradition which the Japanese people should be proud of. However, many people
in other countries don't know much about it because it hasn't been showcased as much. This is why I
decided to try to introduce it. The kakejiku world is very interesting and beautiful. We want not only the
Japanese, but also many people from other countries to know and enjoy it. I hope that many people will
love kakejiku someday.
