A FINE SUIBOKU-GA SCROLL PAINTING, ‘GIBBONS REACHING FOR THE MOON’S REFLECTION’

Japan, early Edo period (1615-1868). Ink on silk. Mounted as a hanging scroll, on a silk brocade coated paper frame with red lacquered wooden handles. Depicting a lively scene with fifteen monkeys hanging off a cliff, their arms extended to form a chain, attempting in vain to fish the reflection of the moon in the water below.

Inscriptions: To the verso, inscribed ‘Enko ryu ga’ 猿猴柳画 (‘Painting of monkeys and willow tree’).

Provenance: From an old French private collection.
Condition: Very good condition with only minor wear and slight creasing. The brocade mounting with expected wear and traces of age.

Dimensions: Image size 98 x 10 cm, Size incl. mounting 160 x 24 cm

A common theme in Zen paintings: monkeys trying to capture the moon’s reflection in water. The image derives from a Buddhist story in which five hundred monkeys hold on to each other’s tails and attempt to seize the reflection of a moon in a well; they fail when the branch from which they are hanging breaks. The monkeys stand for unenlightened people who cannot distinguish between reality and illusion.
