Description |
The scroll is slightly foxed overall as it was drawn years ago.
We estimate it was drawn before World War 2.
Two tears at the top part of the mounting are repaired with papers from
back side.
There are spots, stains, folds and small holes to some extent.
As a whole, the condition of this scroll is not good.
The Hannya Shingyo (Buddhistic sutra) and Daruma are written with Japanese
brush.
The drawer (Nichibutsu) was at the Dai-Sojo rank (The highest rank of Japanese
Buddhist priests).
Though, we could not get further information about him. |
