Vintage Japanese Shikishi – Ink Painting of Persimmons, Signed, Mid‑Shōwa Era

A serene Japanese shikishi board (approx. 24×27 cm) featuring two persimmons on a branch, painted in rich sumi ink with soft, meditative strokes. The minimalist composition reflects the Zen wabi‑sabi aesthetic and draws from Rinpa and nihonga traditions.

A circular calligraphic inscription carries a poetic phrase about a “loving, tranquil heart,” accompanied by two red seals – the artist’s signature and family seal. The exact painter is unknown, but the style and materials firmly place it in the mid‑Shōwa period (1950s–70s).

The board shows natural foxing from age, adding vintage character.
