Vintage shikishi from the early–mid Shōwa period, featuring a bamboo composition painted in red ink with energetic, free brushwork. The scene combines upright stems with dynamic leaf strokes. An inscription and two artist seals appear on the right side. The work is on traditional board with a natural aged tone.
Meaning note
The inscription relates to a classical auspicious theme, expressing wishes for steadiness, resilience and good fortune — qualities traditionally associated with bamboo.
Style note
Free-brush ink work in the spirit of mid-20th-century Japanese suibokuga.
