Compare this to a painting similar in style and size by Gekko that sold at Christie's March 29, 2005 auction for $4200 plus commission. This is a 19th Century Japanese Painting of Rabbits and Moon by Ogata Gekko with Original Silk Mount. Fair Condition. 57"(144cm) x 15"(38cm) Suibokuga, or sumi-e, are monochrome paintings that give a rather quiet impression compared with Western oil painting. They are painted directly without first sketching. This centuries-old art was actively practiced in Japan until about 100 years ago, and it is often said that Suibokuga truly captures the real ?beauty of Japan?.
