About the Item
“Frozen” is a luminous winter landscape by Jihei Higuchi, celebrated in Japan as “Higuchi of Blue” for his masterful use of cool tonal harmonies. In this work, crystalline shades of ice-blue and soft winter white blend into a serene, almost weightless horizon. The scene evokes the stillness of freshly fallen snow, where distant trees dissolve into mist and the sky appears suspended in light.
Though the landscape depicts the depth of winter, the painting carries an unexpected sense of purity and quiet warmth. The soft glow of the warm-toned frame enhances this contrast, creating the feeling of looking out from a tranquil interior onto a world of peaceful frost. Higuchi’s delicate brushwork and minimalist composition give the work a meditative, almost poetic calm.
One of Japan’s noted postwar painters, Higuchi trained under Chikuma Suzuki after returning from a Siberian POW camp in 1948. From the 1960s onward, he was frequently selected for the Yasui Prize exhibitions and received the Minister of Education Encouragement Award at the Sogen Exhibition in 1966. He held solo shows at Ginza Shiseido Gallery, Fuji Art Gallery, and participated in the Rising Artists Invitational at Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi. Revered for his atmospheric worlds of blue and white, Higuchi remains highly collected for his uniquely serene vision.

Swan Lake, Chinese Silk Embroidery Painting
Located in Taichung, TW
Yinghua Zhou’s Swan Lake captures the graceful moment of a swan splashing across the water with extraordinary skill in Suzhou Embroidery. Recognized as one of China’s four great embroidery traditions, Suzhou Embroidery is admired for its flat, neat, harmonious, lustrous, smooth, and even qualities. This work reflects all of these traits. The stitches are impeccably even, the colors flow naturally from shade to shade, and the lines shine with a gentle radiance. Seen from afar, the composition has the depth and refinement of a fine oil painting. Up close, every feather reveals itself as countless silk threads patiently layered to create a soft, luminous glow.
Although Swan Lake is a Suzhou Embroidery, Zhou has woven into it the precision and delicacy for which she is renowned in Hair Embroidery...
