Hand-painted Japanese Shikishi – “White Narcissus” (from the Ikkū Collection)

A delicate hand-painted shikishi (Japanese art board) featuring two white narcissus blossoms with elegant green leaves. The simple, confident brushwork and soft use of white pigment create a feeling of purity and calm.

The artist signs as Ikkū (一空) – meaning “One Sky” – a poetic art-name suggesting serenity and limitless space. His red seal (hanko) completes the work in the traditional Japanese manner.

Painted in the post-war nihonga/etegami style (Shōwa period, 1950–80s), this piece is part of the Ikkū Collection – a series of shikishi exploring flowers, nature, and quiet poetry.
