Hi Manuel.,

 

The signature and seals on the left looks like that of Yamaoka Tesshu.

If it's right, then you have quite a valuable item.

 

However there are many contemporary and modern fakes of Tesshu's work, not to mention modern facsimile prints of his more famous works.

 

I'll do some digging and see if I can find more information for you.

 

PS the signature looks like the style he used in his late 40's early 50's

 

( See John Stevens "The Sword of No Sword")

Cheers

Hello Malcom, i was aware of the signature, for the price i paid if it was genuine i'd done a big shot, but i bought mostly cause i liked the feeling of the script, having no knowledge i'd be a big bonus if genuine.

Thank you for the links and for your future help aswell  ;-)
