vintage japanese shikishi painting

A possible recreation of the famous piece by takeuchi seiho of blue iris. Immaculately inked with stunning attention to detail, a charming painting such as this would have been produced as a souvenir for eager travellers and onsen visitors.

Hand-painted and affixed to shikishi board, a specially prepared backing with subtle flecking and bold, gold trim that is traditionally used for Sumi ink painting, Shodo calligraphy, or watercolour illustration.
