Vintage Japanese Shikishi Watercolor – Snowy Countryside, signed S. Hikaru (c. 1950–70s)

A serene mid-century Japanese shikishi painting, showing a tranquil snowy village with a rustic bridge and winding blue streams. The work is signed “S. Hikaru” (sometimes read as “Hikawa”), a name seen on postwar Japanese artworks made for collectors and travelers.

This piece reflects the Shōwa era’s blend of traditional sumi-e brush techniques with subtle Western watercolor touches – an elegant, airy style cherished by collectors of Japanese art.

Painted on authentic shikishi board (24×27 cm) with the classic gold-fleck backing.

A charming vintage collectible for lovers of Japanese aesthetics and mid-century design. Carefully packed and shipped protected from Riga, Latvia – Riga Gallery of Japanese Art “CloudyYokomido.”
