Japanese Painting

Profile picture for user monicabelzer

Description

This is an old painting that my Grandparents bought when they lived in Japan for a year while my grandfather was stationed there. The Canvas looks to be on a black velvet felt and is atleast 50 yrs old. Since my mother was three when they lived in Japan that year. It has been taken care of pretty good for the most part. Did have a mishap with it when our family cat tried to attack and it did some slight claw marks to it. Just glad I caught her before she shredded it. It is very old. From what I know the frame and all of it even the wire that holds it up are original to my knowledge.
