Vintage Japanese Gold‑Ink Bamboo Shikishi by Hōseki 峰石 – Poetic Calendar Verse on Black

A rare vintage Japanese shikishi board featuring elegant gold‑ink bamboo on a deep black background paired with a classical Chinese poetic inscription. Likely created in the mid–late 20th century, the work is signed with the art name 峰石 (Hōseki / Mineishi) and bears his personal red seal.

The inscription celebrates the natural cycles of time and seasons:
“Cold arrives, heat departs, autumn gathers, winter stores… rain and dew turn into frost, gold gives birth to pure water,”
ending with the signature 玉出峰石 (Hōseki).

The composition is minimal yet striking, painted in shimmering gold strokes across the black surface — a blend of wabi‑sabi aesthetics and the legacy of traditional gold‑decorated poetry boards (shikishi) from the era of Hon’ami Kōetsu and Tawaraya Sōtatsu.

A perfect collectible for lovers of Japanese art, calligraphy, and poetic décor.
