Hanging Scroll 

This hanging scroll by Japanese artist Deiryu, who lived from 1895 to 1954, depicts a simple yet evocative scene. A single, long-handled broom leans against the light beige background of the scroll, its bristles fanned out in a delicate, flowing gesture. Scattered around the broom are three stylized representations of leaves, their five points echoing the brushstrokes of the calligraphy that appears in the upper right corner. Deiryu, known for his masterful use of ink, captures the essence of the broom and leaves in a minimalist, expressive style that evokes the essence of nature.
