Antique Japanese Shikishi Painting | Original Fish Art on Silk by Bo Shunpei | Early 20th Century Maruyama-Shijo School

Bring a piece of serene Japanese nature into your collection!
This authentic shikishi (色紙) features a graceful gyoga (魚画) painting on silk: a variety of fish, shrimp, and sea plants, delicately rendered in the classic Maruyama-Shijo School style.
Signed and sealed by Bo Shunpei (慕俊平), an early 20th-century artist following the Kyoto tradition of naturalistic brushwork.
The composition shows subtle influences of Hokusai’s famous fish albums and the refined brushwork lineage of the Kano school, beautifully merging into the lyrical style of Maruyama-Shijo.

Details:
• Original ink and mineral pigment on silk, mounted on shikishi board.
• Size approx. 24 x 27 cm (9.5" x 10.6").
• Estimated date: Meiji-Taisho era, circa 1900–1920.
• Authentic age marks, some natural foxing and lovely patina.
• Ships securely from Latvia (Riga Gallery of Japanese Art “CloudyYokomido”) with protective packaging and tracked delivery.

Perfect for collectors of nihonga, Japanese ink paintings, or wabi-sabi interiors — a unique piece bridging the spirit of Hokusai, the legacy of Kano masters, and the naturalistic beauty of Kyoto’s Maruyama-Shijo school.
