Chinese Silk Scroll Artwork in Ink, Red-Orange Maple, Black & White Panda, Xie-Yi Style
This vertical silk scroll artwork invites the viewer into a playful moment from the Far East. Two pandas cling to a tall tree under a cascade of fiery red and golden maple leaves, one calmly eating bamboo as if reminding us that somewhere in China, a panda is dining right now. Created in traditional Chinese Xie-Yi style with expressive ink strokes, mineral pigments, and soft gouache washes, the scene balances black and white forms — a visual echo of Yin and Yang harmony. Calligraphy and original stone seal stamps add authenticity and cultural depth. The delicate silk texture and scroll format make it a striking statement for modern interiors, collectors of Asian-inspired art, and anyone searching for unique wall decor. A meaningful, cheerful, and elegant artwork that works beautifully as a gift, contemporary home accent, or refined office centerpiece.
Medium: Ink, mineral pigments, gouache on silk
Technique: Xie-Yi Chinese brush style

Presentation
UMESEI is a contemporary artist and master of traditional East Asian painting, based on Sakhalin Island, Russia—a geographic and cultural crossroads between East and West. Working under the artistic name UMESEI, meaning “Plum from the West" in Japanese, the artist bridges Eastern philosophy with a Western sensibility, creating works rooted in authenticity, symbolism, and contemplative depth.
Trained personally by Great Masters in China and Japan, UMESEI holds official master names in multiple traditions: in Japanese Sumi-e painting as Umesei, and in Chinese Xie Yi and Gongbi painting as “Dancing Crane." Following formal apprenticeships in China, the artist received a master's stone seal for Chinese landscape scroll painting and holds the right to sign Sumi-e works with a personal carved seal—an honor reserved for recognized masters.
UMESEI works exclusively with traditional materials and techniques, including ink, mineral pigments, rice paper, and scroll formats. Each work follows the strict compositional laws of Eastern painting, where every line, pause, and brushstroke carries philosophical meaning. The visual language is minimal yet profound, balancing discipline and intuition, silence and movement.
The artist's practice explores themes of nature, impermanence, inner harmony, and symbolic self-recognition. Cranes, blossoms, mountains, and seasonal motifs act as emotional and cultural markers, inviting viewers into a meditative dialogue with themselves. UMESEI's works do not illustrate reality—they reveal states of being.
In addition to painting, the artist is a certified art educator, collector of ancient Japanese and Chinese prints, master of the Sogetsu school of Ikebana (4th degree), and a poet of Japanese hokku and Chinese landscape poetry. UMESEI has held solo exhibitions in museums, cultural institutions, and diplomatic venues, including the Japanese Consulate, and has participated in major international exhibitions across Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
Works by UMESEI are held in private collections and institutional holdings worldwide, including Japan, China, Europe, and major international cultural foundations.
