| A scholar in a reed chair stairs out over his solitary landscape alive with bamboo and twisting branches, a scene typical of the radical style of Shirakura Niho (also Jiho) enclosed in the original signed wooden box. The scholar figure is quite distinct, all else slightly blurred as if viewed in a dream, drawing our attention to the lone figure. The silk canvas is bordered in patterned copper green with celadon ceramic rollers. The scroll is 21-1/2 by 80-1/2 inches (55 x 204 cm) and is in overall fine condition, with faint spots in the upper left (see close-up photo). Shirakura Niho (b. 1896), originally of Niigata, Studied under Hatta Goro and Tanabe Chikuson settling in Kyoto. He was consistently displayed at both the Teiten-Nitten National Exhibitions as well as the Nihon Nanga –In Ten. Like Yamada Shuho and Fukuda Kodojin, other well known individualistic artists of his generation, he was known for his very unique and easily discernable style. | |||||||||||
