Subject:Japanese water colour
Posted By: GerryG Mon, May 21, 2018 IP: 86.44.179.17
I've attached a few images of what I believe is a Japanese water colour. Any comments on age, artist, translation of kanji would be most welcome. Tks
Gerry

Reading of signature,
祥雲　-　Shōun - Auspicious clouds - Art name of the painter
Reading of seal,
竜　　‐　Ryu - Dragon
In the largest Japanese artist ID dictionary there are four artists with art-name "Shōun" listed.
Fujii Shōun (藤井祥雲）1892-
Onoda Shōun （小野田祥雲）1874-
Arii Shōun (有井祥雲）1885-
Nonouchi Yasutarō　（野々内保太郎）1902-
Until 1932 used the "Shōun" art-name.

Unfortunately, no signatures and seal examples are given to any of the listed artists, and there is no reference which could be connected to the "Ryu - Dragon" seal.
Conclusion, your artist could be a fifth unknown "Shōun".

With regards,
I.Nagy
