Antique Japanese tanzaku painting with bird, bamboo and flower, Taisho–early Showa

Antique Japanese tanzaku from the Taisho–early Showa period (approximately 1915–1935). A vertical panel painted in the nihonga tradition directly on prepared washi, mounted on its original hard tanzaku board. The composition presents a kachoga theme with a small bird among bamboo leaves and a decorative flower below. Mineral pigments and soft transitions reflect early 20th-century decorative style. A signature and seal are present.

The reverse shows early 20th-century paper typical for Taisho–early Showa production, supporting the dating of the work.

Included with the piece is a vintage late-Showa wooden display shelf, suitable for vertical presentation. This shelf is a later addition and does not belong to the period of creation.

The tanzaku measures approximately 6 × 36 cm.
