The soft blur of blossoming plum, as if viewed in a dream, by Murashiam Yuichi. The evocative form, rising up in an arc to dominate the paper, seems powerful in comparison to the delicate petals clinging to new branches rising from the gnarled limbs. Ink on paper in green silk border, the scroll is 216 × 45cm (85 x 18 inches) and in overall excellent condition.
Murashima Yuichi (1897-1983 born Yuichiro) also known as Ho-o, was born in Toyama and graduated the Tokyo Bijutsu Gakko (Mod University of Art) under Yuki Somei. He exhibited with and was awarded several times at the Teiten/Bunten Nitten National Exhibitions. His Painting Horses in Pasture from 1942 is held in the collection of the Tokyo National Museum of Modern Art
