【Early Showa Retro / 1950s】Shikishi (Square Cardboard) Original Painting Japanese Painting Rough Waves Pine Tree Sun Sunrise Ryushu This shikishi was purchased approximately 70 years ago. It is a very auspicious Japanese-style painting of rough waves, pine trees, and the rising red sun. ・Powerful waves "wash away bad luck" and "open up good fortune" ・Pine trees symbolize "longevity and eternal youth" ・The sun symbolizes "rebirth, prosperity, and rising fortune," making it a very celebratory composition. It is a refined and gorgeous piece. There is a signature and seal in the lower right. (Artist Unknown) Recommended as a New Year's decoration, or as an auspicious decoration for the tokonoma (alcove) or entrance. The yellowing and discoloration due to aging adds to the charm of the antique, making it a stylish shikishi. As it is an item from the early Showa era, immediately after the war, it is a very valuable item that conveys the good old days of Showa, which is no longer available today. As it is a very old item stored at home, we would appreciate it if you could understand it as an antique item. The brown spots overall are not part of the design, but rather dirt from aging. 【Size】 Approx. 27.3 x 24.3 cm Made in Japan ↓Hanging scrolls for shikishi are also on sale. #More antique shikishi available Japanese painting Figure painting Tokonoma Japanese-style interior Antique art Signed Winter Spring Calligraphy Poster Spring Summer Autumn Winter Four Seasons New Year's Day New Year's Eve Wa-modern Monochrome Monotone Gray Old tools Antiques Vintage Miscellaneous goods Accessories Tea ceremony Brand Brown Tea room Dirty Old Inn Decoration Object Crafts Antiques Collection Japan Meiji Taisho Art Old-fashioned vintage Interior Old folk house Showa 20s Showa 10s Showa 30s Brown Tattered Cafe Japanese-style room Photography Simple
