Mark S. Posted May 25 Report Posted May 25 Came across this scroll. Anyone able to give this a shot? Unfortunately, this very artistic style of calligraphy is beyond my meager abilities. Thank you in advance. Quote
Mark S. Posted May 25 Author Report Posted May 25 Way out there guess. Could this have something to do with “Mu” or nothingness? Quote
SteveM Posted May 26 Report Posted May 26 First one should be 雲. The second one is 瑞 maybe? No idea of the meaning, but it is from a government office in Beijing, so might be something specific to China or Chinese language. Left side is 1999, Summer? 2 1 Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted May 26 Report Posted May 26 Could it be 雲窮 ？ Unkyū, a spiritual sense engendered when the top of a (certain) mountain is hidden in clouds. 3 1 Quote
Mark S. Posted May 26 Author Report Posted May 26 Not sure if this helps. Tag on back I assume is for inventory purposes. Obviously it’s size and ??? Quote
SteveM Posted May 26 Report Posted May 26 Piers has it. 雲窮 This is also what is written on the top line of the tag on the back (written, however, in Chinese simplified style on the tag). Again, its Chinese so I'm not sure what the pronunciation would be. 2 Quote
Bugyotsuji Posted May 26 Report Posted May 26 Pronounced “Yún Qióng”, according to my Chinese dictionary. Quote
