The scroll is slightly foxed overall as it was drawn years ago.
Unfortunately, there are several worm-eaten holes and amotions on the mounting.
Spots and stains are also recognized in whole.
The condition of this scroll is so-so as a whole.
The motif is a tiger (Tora) which is drawn well with only black Sumi ink.

good tiger pictures.
