Subject:Re: Help identify artist name on these Japanese watercolor paintings
Posted By: I.Nagy Thu, Apr 23, 2020
Signature,
おかむら 京 - Okamura Kyō (Kyōtō)
Inscription on the 1st picture,
牡丹に唐獅子 - Botan ni karajishi - Lion and the peonies (A common combination in Japanese art - According to an old Japanese legend the place under the peony is a safe place to live for the lion, because the night dew dripping from the peony flower kills the insect which eats into his flesh)
I can't identify the artist with this surname.
With regards,
I.Nagy
