There are some folds on the drawing part.
As a whole, the condition of this scroll is not so bad.
A Japanese Kanji character that means bamboo is written powerfully and
quaintly using Japanese brush and black Sumi ink.
This scroll is suitable for Chanoyu Japanese tea ceremony.
Of course, it is also good to hang it in an ordinary room.
