This scroll has been appraised by Honami Tsunemasa of the Nohon Bijutsuhin Hozon Shinsa-Kai (Japan Artworks Conservation & Appraisal Association) in September of 1991.

The appraiser, Honami Tsunemasa is a descendent of Honami Koetsu who flourished as an appraiser and great artist in the Sengoku period (1573-1603).
The endorsement on the lid proves that the scroll is a copy of one of the leading artworks of Tsubaki Chinzan.
