This scroll was drawn in 1851 (at the last part of the Edo Period).
It is a little foxed overall as it was drawn years ago.
There are a few slight amotions on the mounting.
Some spots and folds are recoginized on the drawing part.
Although, the condition of this scroll is not bad in consideration of passage
of time.
This composition is called "Takasago", the common subject of
Japanese paintings.
The happy elderly couple brings fortune.
