Elegant Noble Figure – Hand-Painted Hanging Scroll for Tea Room (Meiji to Early Showa Era)

Grace your space with this refined Japanese hanging scroll, originally intended for use in a traditional tea room. Hand-painted on fabric rather than paper, the scroll features a noble figure from the Heian period — a symbol of classical elegance and inner harmony.

Shorter in length to suit tea room alcoves (tokonoma), this piece exudes quiet dignity and cultural depth. The brushwork is delicate yet expressive, and the scroll is signed and sealed by the artist.

Believed to date from the Meiji, Taisho, or early Showa period, it was sourced directly from Japan and carries with it the calm spirit of the tea ceremony. While ideal for a tea room, it also brings an unmistakable touch of Japanese tradition to any interior.
