Two hanging scrolls of calligraphy and painting by Shoka (calligrapher and painter) Choyo Juko from the Showa period. These are authentic, hand-painted works featuring a sumi-e (ink wash painting) of flowers and birds, and a calligraphic work in gyosho (semi-cursive script), complete with signatures and seals. These are a set of two hanging scrolls (calligraphy and painting) by **Choyo Juko (ちょうよう じゅうこう)**, a calligrapher and painter who was active around the mid-Showa period. One is a sumi-e painting of a small bird on a pine tree, and the other is a dignified calligraphic work in gyosho. Both have the signature seal "Choyo Juko In" and are complete with three types of seals, including the artist's pseudonym seal and studio seal. This is an authentic calligraphy and painting set by the same artist. The serene and elegant brushwork and the beauty of the literati painting, which makes use of negative space, can be felt. They are also visually appealing as hanging scrolls and are perfect for decorating Japanese-style rooms, tea rooms, and studies.
