The scroll is slightly foxed overall as it was painted years ago.
We estimate it was painted before World War 2.
There are some small spots and stains.
The top part of the mounting is a little bit frayed so that there are a
few small holes at the part.
As a whole, the condition of this scroll is so-so.
The roller ends may have been changed from original ones to the plastic
ones.
Kiku (Chrysanth) flowers and chicken couple are painted artistically.
This scroll looks nice.
Chicken never implys weak or wimp in Japanese. |
