Flying Geese Under the Crescent Moon – Japanese Shikishi by Shōsenjin (1969)

A delicate Japanese shikishi painting depicting a flock of geese gliding under a pale crescent moon. Signed Shōsenjin (松仙人, “The Pine Hermit”) with his red seal 仙人.
On the back, the artist wrote “Mikan – Autumn of the Year Tsuchinoto‑tori (1969)”, anchoring the piece in a poetic seasonal context.

Painted in the elegant kachō‑ga (bird‑and‑flower) tradition, with soft sumi ink washes and a touch of mineral blue (gunjō). The style shows the influence of the Kyoto Shijō school, yet has the freshness of postwar nihonga circles.

The shikishi board (approx. 24×27 cm) features a silver border, light natural foxing from age, and retains the authentic charm of mid‑20th‑century Japanese art.

A refined piece for collectors of Japanese ink painting and poetry-inspired art.
