bigjohnshea Posted June 10, 2015 Report Posted June 10, 2015 Dear All, Hope you are well. I purchased these scrolls about 15 years ago from a small antiquities shop when I was living in Florence Italy. The merchant I bought them from seemed to think they were poetry scrolls. A friend of mine who is Japanese said he couldn't read them because they are written in caligraphy. I do not know anything else about them, and would be eternally grateful if someone could translate them for me, maybe shed a little info on their origins if possible. I took a closer photo of what I assume is the name of the artist. Would be lovely to know who that is. Thank you for your time. Cheers, John Quote
bigjohnshea Posted June 10, 2015 Author Report Posted June 10, 2015 Apologies, but I don't know how to rotate the images. They keep turning. The artist's signature should be in the bottom left. Thank you again. Cheers, Quote
k morita Posted June 10, 2015 Report Posted June 10, 2015 Hi, The stamp and signature says " Puyi " ( Aisin-Gioro Puyi,1906 – 1967 )who was the emperor of Manchukuo until 1945. The last emperor of the Qing dynasty in China. 1 Quote
bigjohnshea Posted June 11, 2015 Author Report Posted June 11, 2015 Ah... So you are saying these are in Chinese not Japanese? Quote
k morita Posted June 13, 2015 Report Posted June 13, 2015 bigjohnshea, Of course,Aisin-Gioro(family nane) Puyi(given name) is/was a Chinese. Did you get any new information about this scroll on google? Quote
