池上秀畝 Ikegami Shuho (1874-1944)
Japanese painter of the Meiji and early Showa periods. Born in Nagano Prefecture. Studied literati painting under Araki Kanpo. Specialized in Sansui landscape and flower-and-bird paintings. Won many prizes at the Bunten Exhibition.

Age: 1936 Summer / 丙子夏日
with signature 'Shuho' 秀畝 and seal 'Fushindoshu' 傅神洞主 'Shuho' 秀畝

This elegant hanging scroll by Ikegami Shuho (1874–1944), dated Summer 1936 (丙子夏日), presents a refined composition of white plum blossoms, crimson camellias, and a mountain bird perched quietly among the branches. The contrast between the delicate white and vivid red flowers evokes seasonal transition and poetic harmony, while the solitary bird adds a sense of stillness and introspection. Shuho, a distinguished painter of the Meiji and early Showa periods, trained under Araki Kanpo and gained acclaim for his mastery in Sansui (landscape) and kachōga (flower-and-bird) painting. His brushwork blends literati sensitivity with naturalistic detail, capturing both the vitality and quietude of the scene. The scroll bears his signature “Shuho” (秀畝) and seal “Fushindoshu” (傅神洞主), affirming its authenticity. Housed in its original box (tomobako), this work exemplifies the lyrical elegance and seasonal nuance central to classical Japanese aesthetics.
