Vintage Taishō–Shōwa Japanese ink painting on shikishi – Bamboo in clear wind

This is a vintage Japanese ink painting on shikishi, created in the Taishō–Shōwa period. The composition shows bamboo branches and stalk rendered with soft, flowing brushwork that emphasizes gentle movement in the wind. A vertical inscription and a red seal are present on the right side; the signature is interpreted as the art-name Shunkō, though the exact identification requires further verification. The surface shows the natural tone and character of aged shikishi.

Meaning Note
The phrase seifū (“clear wind”) belongs to the classical poetic vocabulary of Japanese ink painting. The combination of bamboo and a clear breeze traditionally symbolizes calm clarity, inner uprightness, and the flow of unforced natural order.

Style Note
Ink painting with free, expressive brushwork on shikishi.
