The border pattern is composed of auspicious cloud and sacred fungus motifs linked by a Karakusa arabesque...

A hand painted piece of art of a plum tree, painted with ink on makuri paper with sign and seal of the artist - late Meiji Period.
I tried to find out the name of the artist, but it is difficult to read. The painting has a real nice and sensitive touch. It is hard to find similar items like this amazing one.
The condition is good - there is only some unimportant wrinkle and stain which gives the artwork that special touch of a unique piece of art.

Okutani Shuseki (1871-1936) was born in Osaka and lived in Kyoto for most of his life. His artistic lineage is among the

of Mori Tetsuzan, who was one of Maruyama Okyo's best pupils. Like all painters of the Mori family school, Shuseki's nature
paintings are remarkable for their unsentimental naturalism, showing his keen interest in the essence of nature. He won prizes...
