Vintage Japanese Shikishi – Red Bamboo Painting, Signed “Hikojō” with Artist Seal (Taishō–Shōwa Era)

A striking vintage Japanese shikishi (24×27 cm) featuring a vivid red bamboo painted in a single, confident brushstroke style. The work bears the signature Hikojō and a matching artist’s seal – a traditional gagō (art name) used by many Japanese painters of the early 20th century.

The bamboo motif – a timeless symbol of resilience, elegance, and integrity in East Asian art – is here rendered in bold vermilion ink, an uncommon and expressive choice that makes this piece both refined and modern in feeling. The board is classic shikishi: dense washi‑lined cardboard with delicate natural fibres and a gold border, showing light patina that speaks to its Taishō–early Shōwa period origins.

A rare collectible for admirers of sumi‑e, bunjinga, and Japanese literati painting, perfect for framing or as a centerpiece for any Asian art collection.
