Wasn't sure what this was about because the original painting should be by Takeshi Hayashi. I believe this is a print but has a bunch of characters which I am hoping someone can translate and also has a label with copyright but they read "Shigeru Hayashi" who I could not find info on Any help is appreciated.

Shigeru Hayashi, the copyright holder could be the descendant of the artist.

Western (Yōga) style Japanese painter.
His Red- and Rose-Fuji paintings of his later years were popular on the market.

Thank you this is much appreciated. So if I got this right this is a copy or print of one of his paintings?

Also it seems to have a thicker type paint that is visible through the frame. I am confused if it was meant to be given to customers of a bank and mass produced or as a gift to a specific branch and done by artist. Sorry for the confusion and any insight is appreciated.
