Pair of 2 Vintage Japanese Tanuki Shikishi | Showa Era Nihonga Folk Art

Discover a rare pair of charming hand-painted shikishi boards from mid-20th century Japan, created by the artist Shinza (しん左) with his red seal 辰画 (“Drawing of the Dragon”). These whimsical tanuki (Japanese raccoon dogs) dance under the moon and balance playfully with an umbrella — a delightful nod to traditional Otsu-e folk art and the lighthearted spirit of the Showa era.

Each board is approx. 24 x 27 cm, painted on authentic washi paper with visible natural fibers and gentle age spots that add character and vintage charm. Perfect for collectors of Japanese nihonga, folk art, and animal motifs.

Ships safely from Latvia (Riga Gallery of Japanese Art “CloudyYokomido”) with protective packaging. Bring a touch of Japanese whimsy and luck to your collection!
