Vintage Shōwa Japanese ink shikishi – zen calligraphy
$115.65
Japanese calligraphy work on shikishi, executed in ink. The composition consists of two character groups typical of Zen practice, reflecting ideas of inner clarity and unity. The brushwork is controlled and gesture-driven, moving between semi-cursive and cursive script, with emphasis on rhythm and stroke dynamics.
Style note: semi-cursive calligraphy (gyōsho with elements of sōsho)
Condition: Good vintage condition. Vintage works may show natural signs of age (light toning, small fiber creases, gentle edge wear), so please review the photos carefully.
Size (approx.): 24 × 27 cm.
Shipping: Safe and tracked shipping from Latvia (Riga Gallery of Japanese Art CloudyYokomido)
