A quintessential Taisho style painting of a boy in a mystical forest of flowers, pigment on silk by Hoson Reisui (b. 1897). The ethereal image seems not so much to be drawn on the silk, but to eminate from it. The boy too seems as if a sprite living in some fantastical reality. There is a minor water streak opposing on the bottom outside of both panels (near the signature) and some loss to the white gofun petals. Each panel is 34 x 59 inches (86.5 x 149.5 cm) and is in overall fine condition ...click for details

A fully restored late Edo period six panel screen (c. 1820) of a tiger and pups clambering toward a stream tumbling over the floor of a craggy forest depicted with ink on paper signed Mangoku and stamped Tsunekatsu.
