This is a remarkable, complete suite of four (4) original Japanese "Nihonga" paintings on silk. This "Shiki-e" (Four Seasons) set depicts the traditional progression of the Japanese year:

1. Spring: Cherry Blossoms (Sakura) over a tranquil village.

2. Summer: Lush green mountains and misty river valleys.

3. Autumn: Vibrant Maple (Momiji) foliage in a mountain pass.

4. Winter: A serene, snow-covered landscape with minimalist ink work.

Each panel is hand-painted with mineral pigments on fine silk, signed with the artist's calligraphy and red seal (hanko) for Shunshō (春章). Unlike individual panels often found on the market, this matching set offers a continuous narrative and balanced aesthetic, perfect for a gallery wall or a prominent dining room display.
