Otsuki Kōseki - Camellia - Ink Wash Painting - Size 5

Otsuki Kōseki
Camellia
Sumi-e (Ink Wash Painting)
Size 5
Authentic work.

Price negotiable.

Simply having this in your room will brighten it up.
It looks great not only in Japanese-style rooms but also in Western-style rooms. I think this is thanks to the three-dimensional framing.

I get energy every morning by looking at this painting.
While there are many books and art collections by Kōseki, the actual paintings are truly exceptional.

There are no particularly noticeable scratches, but there is a general sense of age.
But that's what makes it good. It has a deep, rich flavor.

I have decided to part with it.
