| An Edo period Kano style Sumi-e ink painting dated the fall of 1710. A man leans against the railing, watching while fishermen pull in their nets from his thatch roofed cottage built on stilts over the lake. Clouds obscure any scenery n the distance. The inscription above is signed Tosenshi, followed by a name stamp reading Showa. The painting is unsigned, however bears two stamps reading Shinen and Fumon. The large Yoko-haba scroll is bordered in silk embellished with blue and green dragon dials over lightning-like diagonal stripes. Above and below are fields of raw silk and the scroll ends with wooden rollers. There is a repeating water stain in intervals down the left hand side, as well as very minor staining here and there. Also a heavy crease where the lower field meets the dragon dotted frame material. The scroll measures 37-1/2 by 5 feet (95 x 152 cm). A number of repairs to the painting from the backside indicate this Edo period mounting is not the original, granting evidence to its great age. | |||||||||||||
