Serene Vintage Shikishi Landscape signed “Hōō” (Phoenix)

A graceful Japanese shikishi painting (approx. 24×27 cm) depicting misty mountains, tall cedars, and blossoming trees in soft washes of ink and color — a classic suiboku‑ga aesthetic blended with nihonga subtlety.

The work bears the artist’s signature Hōō — meaning Phoenix — and two matching red seals with the same characters. The phoenix name was often used by Kyoto‑based nihonga painters of the mid‑Shōwa period (1950s–70s), linking this piece to the refined Maruyama–Shijō tradition.

Importantly, this is a plain shikishi board — without the typical gilt edge found on mass‑produced souvenir shikishi. Such ungilded boards were used by artists for true studio works, making this piece more authentic and collectible.

The board shows natural foxing from age, giving it the warm patina expected of genuine vintage nihonga materials.

A captivating addition for collectors of Japanese landscapes and signed shikishi, evoking Zen calm and the spirit of renewal embodied by the phoenix.
