Showa Japanese Shikishi – Minimalist Sumi‑e of Cranes – Signed “Ha‑o” with Red Seal

An authentic Japanese shikishi board (24 × 27 cm) from the Showa period, painted in the refined sumi‑e ink style. The composition shows two graceful cranes gliding over the water — a classic motif of Japanese art, symbolizing longevity, peace, and good fortune.

The piece is signed はお (Ha‑o) and stamped with a personal red seal, suggesting the hand of an independent artist rather than a studio reproduction. Executed on a traditional shikishi board with a shimmering golden edge, it has developed a gentle natural patina over time, enhancing its character and authenticity.

This artwork belongs to the kachō‑e (bird‑and‑flower) tradition and carries the calm, meditative spirit of Japanese minimalism. A perfect choice for collectors of Japanese art, lovers of sumi‑e, or anyone seeking a serene accent for their home interior.
