菊池光畝 Kikuchi Kōho (active mid-20th century)
Kikuchi Kōho was a Japanese painter active during the mid-20th century, known for his work in traditional Nihonga and seasonal scroll painting. While detailed biographical records are limited, his name appears in regional art circles and auction listings, often associated with hanging scrolls depicting landscapes, birds, and auspicious motifs rendered in ink and mineral pigments. His compositions typically feature refined brushwork, balanced color tones, and symbolic elements such as cranes, pines, and rising suns, suggesting themes of longevity, purity, and seasonal renewal. These works are often mounted in silk and accompanied by calligraphy and red seals, reflecting cultural resonance and decorative elegance. Although not widely documented in national exhibition records, Kikuchi Kōho’s scrolls are appreciated in the antique art market for their poetic atmosphere and collectible appeal, making them suitable for collectors of mid-century Japanese art and traditional kakejiku.
with signature and seal 'Koho' 光畝
Illuminated by the soft glow of a full moon, this kakejiku by Kikuchi Kōho (active mid‑20th century) presents a fox standing quietly among bamboo, a motif that weaves together folklore, seasonality, and a quietly mysterious atmosphere. Kōho’s restrained brushwork and muted palette create a scene that feels both elusive and serene, capturing the subtle tension often associated with fox imagery in Japanese art. Active in regional circles and known for traditional Nihonga and seasonal scrolls, he produced works marked by balanced compositions, refined color control, and symbolic motifs. The scroll bears his signature and seal “Kōho” (光畝), affirming its authorship, and is accompanied by its original box (Tomobako), underscoring the care with which the piece has been preserved.
