Mark S. Posted June 17, 2019 Report Posted June 17, 2019 Found this scroll in a resale shop and took a chance for $4. In a way, I felt sorry for it sitting there and who knows what it's fate could have been It is very plainly mounted, and I would assume it is simply a decorative piece, but I liked the theme. From info I found from Joly's "Legend in Japanese Art", I would assume the theme is Shochikubai (Ume-Plum, Take-Bamboo, Matsu-Pine which are "Emblems of Longevity"). I was just wondering if anyone would be able to give me an idea of the meaning of some of the writing or the artist name? I don't expect a word for word translation, but any help that can shed some light on this one would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. Mark S. Quote
Mark S. Posted June 17, 2019 Author Report Posted June 17, 2019 Here is the 'identification tag' that is on the back side of the scroll which can be seen when the scroll is rolled up. Quote
