Vintage early–mid Showa Japanese ink shikishi – snowy plum branch
$129.95 $144.39
A vintage Japanese shikishi from the early–mid Showa period, executed in ink. The composition shows a flowering plum branch, painted in a traditional suibokuga manner with soft washes on the main trunk and precise rhythmic strokes for the blossoms. The work carries the characteristic balance and restraint of mid-20th-century brush painting, with signature and seals typical for the period.
Meaning note
The accompanying text reflects a classic Showa-era metaphor: the plum blossom that endures and faces the same moon. It conveys steadiness, quiet strength and constancy through time.
Style note
Ink brushwork in a traditional suibokuga approach.
