Vintage Japanese shikishi with horse study in ink and wash, early–mid Shōwa

Vintage Japanese shikishi with an ink-and-wash study of a rearing horse, created in the early–mid Shōwa period.
The composition focuses on upward movement: lifted front legs, arched neck, and a strong contour drawn in one continuous gesture. Layered washes and confident sumi lines reflect training-studio practice typical for Shōwa-era academic ink work.
Signature present on the front. Original shikishi board with natural age toning.

Size approx. 24×27 cm.
