Vintage Japanese Shikishi Art • Signed Ink and Watercolor Fruit Branch, Haiku & Signature

An original Japanese shikishi (24 × 27 cm) featuring a delicate ink and watercolor painting of a fruit branch with deep indigo-blue fruits — painted in a minimalist nihonga / sumi-e style.

The piece carries a handwritten haiku-style poem:

“一度とも見へず 秋とふる里”
“Even if I don’t see you once – autumn has come to my old hometown.”

Above it, the calligraphy reads 時局脈 (“pulse of the present moment”), adding a poetic and philosophical nuance.

Signed by the artist with a rare calligraphic signature — likely an amateur or semi-professional painter of the Showa era (1930s–1960s). The painting is on a traditional shikishi board with a soft ivory tone, showing natural age spots that add charm and authenticity.

Perfect for collectors of vintage Japanese art, lovers of haiku calligraphy, or anyone seeking an elegant, contemplative accent for their interior.

Ships securely from Latvia (Riga Gallery of Japanese Art “CloudyYokomido”) with protective packaging and tracking.
