This exquisite vintage shikishi board (approx. 24 × 27 cm) presents a powerful example of Japanese bokuseki — the Zen tradition of spontaneous calligraphy. The inscription reads:
“Congratulations – January 1.”
It is signed and sealed by a modern Zen calligraphy master (青玄 / 玄性 style signature), and bears two red seals confirming authorship and artistic lineage.
Estimated to date from the mid‑20th century (Shōwa period, 1950s–1980s), the piece shows gentle aging: delicate foxing (vintage paper speckling) and a softly patinated gold border — classic signs of an authentic, time‑honored shikishi.
Created in bold, meditative strokes, the composition evokes the spirit of Zenga and the centuries‑old aesthetics of Zen art — a single breath, a single brushstroke.
Perfect for collectors of Japanese calligraphy, Zen aesthetics, and unique wall art.
Ships securely from Riga Gallery of Japanese Art “CloudyYokomido,” Latvia.
