I have inherited a painting on strips of silk, as far as I know, it's been in the family it's been in the family for at least 70 years.

The painting is made up of 4 vertical silk strips.

Can anyone help me with the translation of the text, please? I have no idea if this is a tourist piece from the mid-40s, which is when I believe it was acquired.


Many thanks in advance, apologises for the light shade reflection.

Thank you so much for your help. The fact it's an unidentified artist probably means a tourist piece as I suspected, I still love the piece anyway :)
