An atmospheric Japanese silk painting from the early 20th century (Taishō–early Shōwa, c. 1910–1930s). The work portrays lush roses in soft whites, pinks, and reds against a moody background – a composition full of quiet poetry.
Signed with the artist’s art‑name (gō) 秋光斎 – “Shūkō‑sai” (Studio of Autumn Light) – the painting carries both an ink signature and a traditional red square seal. Such “‑sai” (斎) names were typically adopted by trained painters in Japan, signaling a studio identity and connection to the Nihonga tradition.
The brushwork reflects the kachō‑ga style (flower‑bird genre) but with a slight Western shadowing influence typical of the Taishō period, when Japanese artists experimented with new pigments and techniques.
This authentic antique panel will enrich any collection of Japanese art, floral paintings, or Taishō‑era décor.
