A vintage shikishi card from May 5, 1955 (昭和30年) features an evocative handwritten composition of the Japanese song 「裕雨」(Yūu)
The card combines musical notation and handwritten lyrics in brush and ink, expressing a nostalgic and poetic atmosphere. Below the staff lines is a delicate sumi-e ink painting depicting a quiet seascape: an island on the horizon with gently gliding birds, enhancing the lyrical calm and emotional depth of the piece.
The work exudes the quiet introspection and delicate aesthetic of mid-20th century Japan, capturing the cultural spirit of the Shōwa era. A unique collectible for lovers of Japanese calligraphy, vintage music ephemera, and post-war art.
