Peter Bleed Posted June 3 Author Report Posted June 3 Friends,I beg some advice and help. I bought this screen yesterday, but I have never owed one before or explored this category. This screen has - supposedly - been on a wall since before WWII. Peter Quote
SteveM Posted June 3 Report Posted June 3 The black writing says 権之丞寫 (Gonnosuke utsushi), meaning "copy of Gonnosuke". Gonnosuke is a name, but I'm unsure if it is an historical figure or fictitious character. There is a Gonnosuke who fought Miyamoto Musashi, but the clothing of the figures in this picture look as if they predate Musashi's time. I haven't cracked the red artist's seal yet. 3 Quote
