Hi

Can anyone tell me who the artist is and what the calligraphy says?

Many thanks for any help

John

These are the lyrics of Japan's national anthem.

君か代は千代に　　　　　Kimigayo wa chiyo ni
　　やちよにさされ石の yachiyo ni, Sazare-ishi no
　巌となりてこけの iwao to narite, Koke no
　　むすまて musu made
華月　Kagetsu (Signature)
華月　Kagetsu　（Upper seal）
I can't fully decipher the lower (leisure) seal

May your reign
Continue for thousand
eight thousand generations
Until the tiny pebbles
Grow into massive boulders
Lush with moss

Unfortunately, I cannot identify the calligrapher/painter.

For technical reasons the alternative kanas are
represented in their modern forms.

With regards,
I.Nagy

Hi

Better image of seals if it helps.

Thanks for the help so far.

John

This is a leisure seal with the motto of artist.
Except if the artist is not very famous, such leisure seals are not accounted for.

I can't read the third character(X).
書道X語名註大巳 ca. X calligraphy is noted highly
auspicious

With regards,
