Signed and sealed at right Hosui
Okamoto Hosui studied painting in Kyoto under the well-know Nihonga artist Kikuchi Hobun (1862–1918). Recurring subjects in his paintings are animals, birds and flowers. His most famous work is a set of fusuma (sliding doors) in the Mimakuri Shrine, Tsugemura, Nara Prefecture, depicting a pair of peacocks.
Hosui received the honor to exhibit in the prestigious Bunten national art exhibition four times--in 1907, 1915, 1917, and 1918--as well as in the Tokyo Taisho exhibition of 1914. He was still active in 1927.
