【Early Showa Retro / 1950s】Shikishi (Square Paperboard) Original Painting, Japanese Painting, Landscape, Meoto Iwa (Married Couple Rocks), Rough Waves, Pine Trees, Sun, Sunrise, Ryushu?? (Seal) Set of 2 These shikishi were purchased approximately 70 years ago. These are Japanese painting shikishi works beautifully depicting the Meoto Iwa, pine trees, and sunrise. The Meoto Iwa standing in the sea are known as an auspicious motif symbolizing "marital harmony," "family safety," and "good relationships," and are recommended for display in a tokonoma (alcove), interior decoration, or as a gift. ・The powerful waves "wash away bad luck" and "open up good fortune." ・Pine trees represent "longevity and eternal youth." ・The sun symbolizes "rebirth, prosperity, and rising fortune," making it a very celebratory composition. On the bottom right: "Seventy-seven years old, Ryushu??" The reading is unknown, but there is a signature and seal. Please check the images. Recommended as a Kiju (77th birthday) celebration gift. The yellowing and discoloration due to aging add to the charm of the antique, making it a stylish shikishi. As these items are from the early Showa period, immediately after the war, they are extremely valuable and convey the good qualities of the Showa era, which are no longer obtainable today. These are very old items stored at home, so we ask for your understanding as antique items. The brown spots overall are not part of the design but are stains due to aging. 【Size】 Approximately 27.3cm × 24.3cm Made in Japan ↓Hanging scrolls for shikishi are also on sale. #More antique shikishi are available Set of 2, Two sets Japanese painting, Figure painting, Tokonoma, Japanese-style interior, Old art, With signature, Winter, Spring, Calligraphy, Poster, Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, Four seasons, New Year's, New Year's Day, Year-end Wa-modern, Monochrome, Monotone, Gray, Old tools, Antiques, Antique, Vintage Miscellaneous goods, Small items, Tea ceremony, Brand, Brown, Tea room, Dirty, Old, Ryokan (Japanese 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
