Vintage early Showa Japanese watercolor shikishi – white flowers

Vintage Japanese shikishi from the early Showa period, painted in watercolor with light gouache accents on traditional washi. The composition shows white flowers in a soft decorative manner typical of the first half of the 20th century. Petals are outlined with gentle tonal transitions, and the leaves are rendered with free, transparent strokes. A red artist seal is placed in the lower corner.

The work reflects a quiet sense of observing the small and the subtle, a calm floral theme characteristic of this period.
