Vintage Shōwa Japanese watercolor shikishi – Persimmon on branch

Vintage Shōwa-era shikishi with a persimmon on a branch, painted in watercolor and ink. The composition follows a traditional Japanese approach: a single fruit, slight asymmetry, and open surrounding space. The signature and seal are consistent with late-Shōwa small ateliers. The work belongs to decorative painting of the mid-to-late Shōwa period.

Meaning note
The motif of a single persimmon reflects the Japanese idea of observing the small: noticing simple forms, focusing on one object, and maintaining calm attention to modest details.

Style note
Watercolor with soft tonal transitions and light ink accents typical of everyday Shōwa-period painting.

Condition
Good vintage condition.
Vintage works may show natural signs of age (light toning, small fiber creases, gentle edge wear), so please review the photos carefully.
