Cormorant Fishing at Night - Vintage Shōwa Japanese ink and color painting on shikishi
$211.50
Vintage Japanese shikishi with ink and light color painting, created in the early-mid Shōwa period.
The work depicts a traditional night scene of cormorant fishing: a hanging lantern on a pole and two birds moving across the water. The composition is executed in a free suibokuga manner, with soft washes and the restrained, minimal expression characteristic of early-mid Shōwa ink painting.
A quiet piece reflecting the poetic motif of ukai, widely appreciated in Japanese art of the early 20th century. The surface and materials correspond to a period shikishi with an original seal.
