Subject:Old Japanese Painting on Paper help
Posted By: Casey Fri, May 20, 2022 IP: 2600:387:f:933::3

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone could help me shed some light on this. Looks to be an old Japanese or Korean painting on paper.

Seems to be early to me but was wondering if anyone could offer their insight.

Kind regards

Casey

It is a Japanese song from the Kokin Wakashu Vol 1. attributed to Kakinomoto Hitomaro.
For technical reasons the historic Hentai-ganas are shown here in their modern forms.
It reads from left to right
人丸    Hitomaru*     
ほのぼのと明石の Hono-bono to Akashi no
浦の朝きりに Ura no asakiri ni
しまかくれ shimakakure
行くふね惜 yuku fune oshi-
ぞ思う zo ni omou
Hitomaru a.k.a. Kakinomoto Hitomaro
Think of the boat that hides
from the island in the morning mist
of Akashi no Ura

It is not signed and not dated.
Could be 100 - 150 years old - I guess.

With regards,
I.Nagy
