Vintage Japanese Shikishi – “Festival Cart and Bamboo” by Shimizu‑sai (清水斎)
$124.97 $138.86
A delicate nihonga painting on traditional shikishi board (24×27 cm), depicting a charming miniature hoko festival cart with bamboos – a scene reminiscent of Kyoto’s Gion Matsuri.
The work is signed 清水 (Shimizu) and stamped with the artist’s red seal 清水斎 (Shimizu‑sai), indicating his art name (gō). Painted in the Shijō-school tradition – a style blending ink outlines with soft watercolor washes – this piece embodies the gentle aesthetics of early to mid‑Shōwa period (1930s–50s).
The shikishi board features a subtle gold border, with natural foxing spots from age, adding to its vintage charm.
Perfect for collectors of Japanese art, matsuri themes, and Kyoto culture.
