Mountain Herb and Flower – Japanese Shikishi by Isshū (One Excellence)

Elegant shikishi painting of a flowering mountain herb, delicately rendered in sumi-e with a subtle touch of color. The artist signs as Isshū (一秀) — an art-name (gō) meaning “One Excellence,” a poetic expression of individuality and refinement.

The calligraphy on the right includes a personal or poetic inscription, possibly expressing gratitude related to the plant. The composition reflects the quiet simplicity and contemplative mood of kachō-ga (bird-and-flower painting), rooted in suibokuga (ink wash painting) traditions of 20th-century Japan.
