What is this exactly? I can't find anything like it online. Thank you

I haven't a clue...it appears to be professionally framed.

 

Any idea what the kanji says or feedback? Especially confusing is the gold colored background.

 

Thanks in advance for your help; this is driving me nuts trying to figure it out.

Think its just decorative - might be an image of Kumagai and Atsumori?

Thank you, Thomas. I really appreciate it.

 

It was purchased by me in a upscale suburb for a reasonable price and what made me question it was the fact that I could not find another example online and the label on the back has the gallery of where it was professionally framed.

 

Wasn't expecting much, which sounds like it was prudent.

I have never seen Japanese framed pictures. Maybe framed in the West?

Bows are much shorter for riding on horseback.

Patricius,

as fas as I know, the YUMI are the same as those used in KYUDO.

In terms of painting style it reminds me of Taisho and Showa period work. As an artefact it looks to me to be a print from a book, the back cover perhaps. The kanji reads 'Sō', meaning to dwell or the Sung Dynasty. I doubt that's an artists seal, possibly a publishers mark?

Interesting. If you look closely, the images of the horses and riders appear cropped out. So probably cropped out of the picture of another work. I agree with Ford the back cover of a book.
