Large Japanese Wall Decoration, Hand-Painted Panda, Sumi-e, 1970s

This large Japanese wall piece combines the calm of classic sumi-e with a beautifully decorative presentation.

Dimensions: height 170 cm, width 94 cm, depth 4.5 cm.

At the centre is a panda, confidently painted in deep black ink, with soft grey tones for the bamboo stalks and leaves. The brushwork is expressive yet controlled: rich, wet-loaded strokes give the panda weight and character, while the bamboo remains light and airy. The result is graphic and clean, yet warm thanks to the unmistakable hand-painted touch.

The artwork is professionally mounted and framed behind plexiglass, with a luxurious textile mat in gold brocade and a refined blue-and-gold inner border that makes the paper appear even brighter. At the top, two narrow blue woven hanging strips add a subtle traditional accent. The combination of monochrome ink, textile texture, and golden tones gives the piece a quiet sense of luxury that works effortlessly across a wide range of interiors.

In a minimalist setting, it reads as a strong, zen statement: one large image with plenty of breathing space. Pair it with natural materials such as wood, linen, and stone, and let the piece anchor the room. In warmer styling—alongside dark wood, vintage ceramics, or ikebana—it brings contrast and serenity, while the gold brocade adds depth and layering without feeling heavy.

On the right is a vertical signature (Ōmine) with a red hanko seal, likely reading 大峰 (Ōmine).

In very good condition, ready to hang.
