水田竹圃 Mizuta Chikuho (1883-1958)
Japanese painter of the Meiji and Showa periods. Born in Osaka. Studied under 姫島竹外 Himejima Chikugai (1840-1928). Since the first year of the Taisho era (1912), he has repeatedly been selected for the Bunten Exhibition. His work "Early Spring" won a special prize in 1916.

with signature 'Chikuho sha' 竹圃写 and seal 'Sejifuun' 世事浮雲
This hanging scroll by Mizuta Chikuho (1883–1958) presents a refined botanical composition featuring a bamboo shoot nestled among green leaves and delicate wildflowers, rendered with elegant brushwork and a naturalistic palette. The earthy tones of the bamboo and the vibrant red accents of the blossoms create a balanced interplay of strength and softness, emblematic of Chikuho’s sensitivity to seasonal motifs and classical aesthetics. Signed “Chikuho sha” (竹圃写) and sealed “Sejifuun” (世事浮雲)—a poetic phrase meaning “worldly affairs are floating clouds”—the scroll reflects the artist’s contemplative spirit and mastery of Nanga (Southern School) painting. Accompanied by a storage box, this work stands as a graceful example of early 20th-century Japanese art, where tradition, lyricism, and painterly discipline converge.
