| Jingu, guardian Empress of Japan, stands ready to defend her princely child Ojin held by General Takenouchi Sukune within a painted border of martial articles. Swords, armor, bows and quivers full of arrows, a horse-bit and court cap, tea bowl and other implements precious to the samurai tradition all hand-painted about the central image, laid scroll-like over top but actually all part of the same canvas. The composition has been freshly mounted in toffee colored brocade reflecting the original mounting and retains the original large bone rollers. It comes enclosed in a period wooden box. The scroll is 17-1/2 by 71 inches (44.5 x 181 cm). There is some toning and marks but nothing worthy of distraction. The stamp appears to read Shinsei | |||||||||||
