Vintage late Shōwa Japanese ink shikishi – herb with yellow spike
$75.80 $84.23
A vintage shikishi from the late Shōwa period, painted with ink and a light color accent. The composition presents a slender herb with softly brushed leaves and a small yellow spike, rendered in a minimal and calm manner typical of domestic ink painting of the period. The vertical inscription on the right is written in a free, flowing hand and relates to a reflective theme of gratitude and natural movement. The surface and palette remain restrained, giving the work a quiet observational tone.
Meaning note
The inscription conveys a sense of appreciation toward nature and the gentle movement of wind passing through mountain plants.
Style note
Freehand suibokuga with light color emphasis.
Condition
Good vintage condition. Vintage works may show natural signs of age (light toning, small fiber creases, gentle edge wear), so please review the photos carefully.
