Yukawa Shōdo was a highly regarded talent during his lifetime and was a renowned master of bijin-ga, as can been seen here. His talent was fostered by Mitani Sadahiro and the great Suzuki Shōnen, who bestowed upon him the kanji for “shō” in his name from his own. A piece of his in the Mishima City Regional Museum can be seen here.

There is very impressive control here in the style of his master Shōnen, who is legendary in Kyoto. The upper seal reads “rakujū  – enjoying a long life”  (楽寿) and the lower double-split intaglio seal reads “Yukawa Shodo”. Dragons by his master, Shōnen, are extremely expensive and can be found in many museums. We have handled his paintings multiple times.

Fair-good condition (small stains and damages – still very enjoyable!).
