Delight in this exquisite vintage Shōwa‑period Japanese sumi‑e bamboo painting on rice‑paper board, meas. approx 24×27 cm. Rendered in bold red ink strokes, annotated with an elegant black calligraphic signature and two traditional red seals—consistent with bamboo paintings by Kawamura Yōkoku and contemporaries of 1930s–1950s.

While the artist remains unsigned from catalogs, the pseudonym appears akin to “Tē‑san‑jin” (“Person of the Pure Mountain”), with seals denoting studio and art‑name. The minimalist composition and Zen sensibility align with nanga & bunjin‑ga schools and Maruyama‑Shijō aesthetic.

Mounted with a subtle gold‑edged trim, the aged rice‑paper exhibits natural fiber speckles and a mellow patina—a hallmark of authentic mid‑Shōwa medium. Excellent collectible condition.

Shipped securely and elegantly from Latvia by Riga Gallery of Japanese Art “CloudyYokomido”, carefully packed and ready to display or frame.
