Vintage Japanese Shikishi – “Hanken” Landscape with Sea and Pine Trees – Shijō School Style – Mid 20th Century

A charming Japanese ink and watercolor painting on shikishi board (24×27 cm), signed 半轩 (Hanken) and sealed 深翠 (Shinsui) – traditional gō (artist’s name) and studio seal.

This work depicts a serene coastal landscape with pine‑clad cliffs, thatched‑roof houses, and sailing boats on calm waters. The soft brushwork and light washes are characteristic of the Shijō School (四条派) and nihonga style, echoing the Kyoto traditions of the early to mid‑Shōwa period (1940s‑60s).

Painted on a classic shikishi (色紙) panel — heavy board covered with fine washi paper. Natural aging with light foxing adds authentic wabi‑sabi charm.

A fine piece for collectors of Japanese art, suitable for framing or display in a tokonoma.
