Description

Rendered in harmonious coloring, this work bearing the seal of Mikami Kyokuho shows a delicate scene from Japanese nature. Among finely detailed bamboo leaves, red berries glow, their vivid hue forming a lively contrast to the calm base tone of the silk. Perched on one of the branches sits a small bird, its posture radiating both calm and alertness.

The composition attests to the artist's masterful control over line and color – every movement of the brush follows a clear rhythm that makes the natural balance between energy and serenity palpable. The luminous red and green tones are subtly attuned to one another, lending the painting a warm, almost meditative presence.

Painted on fine silk in the Showa period, with jikusaki made of bone, this work stands as an exemplary fusion of traditional Japanese aesthetics and modern expressive power.

Frequently asked

Does this work carry a seal or signature?

Yes, this piece carries the signature or seal of Mikami Kyokuhō

When was the work created?

Based on the previous owners' information and the condition of the object we place it broadly in the Shôwa (1926–1989) period, but cannot give a precise date.

Is this genuine craftsmanship?

Yes, this piece is a genuine handcrafted original that exists only once.

Why does the date of creation sometimes not match the artist's dates

Because the two pieces of information speak about different things: the period designation describes the object – support, colors, condition – while the signature reflects which name appears on the painting. In most cases there is no attempt at deception behind this, but rather Japanese painting training: copying from workshop models was the curriculum for centuries, an utsushi is regarded as a bow to the teacher, workshops signed with the master's name, and artist names were passed down within a school. Such a hanging scroll is therefore not a forgery, but a hand-painted one-of-a-kind that continues the formal language of its school – just not the work of the famous name, and priced accordingly. We explain this in detail in the guide Why does a kakemono often bear the signature of an artist long deceased?.
