Vintage Shōwa Japanese ink shikishi – bird in flight

This shikishi presents a small bird in mid-flight, drawn in ink with light tonal accents. The work belongs to the Shōwa period and shows a quick, economical brush technique that captures a moment of sudden upward motion. A short poetic inscription at the right describes a bird rising in front of a window, accompanied by the artist’s signature and seal. The scene reflects a brief, observed instant of nature, rendered with calm clarity.
