Does this scroll depicts someone specific or a generic character.
Thank you.

The picture depicts Tenjin-sama, the deificated Sugawara no Michizane, a famous cholar and poet of Heian period.
Signature and seal,
義昭　-Yoshiaki

Box inscriptions,
緞子　　-　Damask
一字廻し　-　One letter turning - a single character wide frissure around the work -
天神様　- Tenjin-sama
本田義昭　-　Honda Yoshiaki (Name of artist)
五尺座像　-　5 shaku (1,5 m) high seating picture
I could not find Japanese painter with this name.

With regards,
I.Nagy
