Authentic mid-20th century Japanese shikishi board featuring the bold character 芭蕉 (Bashō), referencing the famous poet Matsuo Bashō and the elegance of the banana palm.
This work is signed 龍堂 (Ryūdō) with an original red seal. The brushwork is an excellent example of the 草書 (sōsho) style — dynamic, flowing and deeply rooted in the Shōwa-era calligraphy revival.
A beautiful piece for collectors of Japanese art, wabi-sabi interiors, or Zen calligraphy enthusiasts.
Shipped Safe and trackedly from Latvia (Riga Gallery of Japanese Art "CloudyYokomido"), with full protective packaging.
