This Japanese painting (nihonga) dates from the mid to late Japanese Showa period (1926-1989). The painting was done on a rectangular sheet of stiff Japanese shikishi paper with gold trim at the edges. This nihonga painting is in poor to fair condition with marks, stains and creases and is a wonderful candidate for framing and display.
