Subject:Re: Help translate signature on japanese scroll
Posted By: I.Nagy Sat, Sep 19, 2020
I think it is Chinese,
Signature,
北宁山樵 - Woodcutter of Mount Beining (Pseudonym)
Seal,
林良重印 - Seal of Lin Liangzhong
I can't find artist with this name.
Just to complicate the situation a bit, there is also a plausible Japanese reading of the artist's name: 林良重 → Hayashi Kazushige or Yoshishige, but it cannot be found either in the Japanese artists's name dictionaries or on the net. Not to mention that the pseudonym 北宁山 or 北宇山 would not be very interpretable in Japanese -
because mountains or mounts with such names do not exist in Japan.
With regards,
I.Nagy
