A lurid landscape spreads across two two-panel screens by Shirakura Niho signed and dated 1929. Two colorful scholars share a quiet moment in the shelter of a thatched hut. On first examination it appears nonsensical, a chaotic collection of dashes and dots, however the closer one examines the painting the more one realizes the detail and planning that went into the imagery, It is performed with ink on paper framed in dark mulberry frame and has been recently re-backed with forest green paper. Each panel is 37 x 67-1/2 inches (94 x 172 cm). 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.
