Chinese Ink Wash Hanging Scroll of Bamboo

This is a vertical hanging scroll (kakemono) featuring a traditional ink wash painting (sumi-e style) depicting a bamboo shoot. The central artwork is rendered in black ink on a light-colored paper or silk substrate, mounted onto a decorative light-gold or mustard-toned silk brocade mounting with a subtle woven floral pattern. The bamboo is executed with confident, varying brushstrokes, showcasing 'life-movement' (qiyun) through the contrast of dark, saturated leaves and lighter, jointed stalks. To the right of the bamboo is a vertical column of Chinese calligraphy accompanied by two distinct red cinnabar artist seals, likely denoting the artist's name and perhaps a studio or poetic name. The scroll is suspended via a top wooden rod and weighted by a bottom roller with light-colored (possibly plastic or bone) end knobs. Historically, such works often date from the mid-to-late 20th century, though they emulate classical Ming or Qing dynasty aesthetics. The condition appears fair to good; there are noticeable horizontal 'crackle' lines or creases across the paper surface, common with age and repeated rolling/unrolling. The mounting edges show minor fraying, and there is slight discoloration characteristic of light exposure and storage in a non-climate-controlled environment. The craftsmanship suggests a skilled hand-painted piece rather than a mass-market print, given the bleed and gradient visible in the ink work.
