Original Japanese hand-painted shikishi depicting a rooster, hen, and chicks.
Ink and color on board with traditional gold border.
Early-mid Shōwa period.

Works with the rooster motif were traditionally associated with the zodiac Year of the Rooster and themes of renewal and cyclical beginnings. The family composition with hen and chicks reinforces symbolism of continuity and domestic harmony. The piece may hold particular meaning for those born in the Year of the Rooster.

Vintage condition. Vintage works may show natural signs of age (light toning, small fiber creases, gentle edge wear), so please review the photos carefully.
