Subject:Scroll Composed of 2 Japanese Prints - Translation Help
Posted By: Stan Tue, Feb 04, 2020 IP: 2601:18c:504:a6e0:f9

Asian Art lovers,

I recently purchased a scroll composed of 2 Japanese prints (by Tomita Shuko (U) & Yoshu Chikanobu (L)). I was wondering what the writing on the box and on the scroll says. Thank you for any help you can provide.

Cheers,
Stan

I.Nagy thank you for your help. I gather that Master Shiko owned my scroll or the box and the scroll are unrelated.

Cheers,
Stan

Agreed. That is what I said in the original post. Here is one for sale:

The Tomita Shuko print is the right panel of a triptych. See it here:
