Some spots on the drawing part are a little noticeable.
Although, the condition of this scroll is not bad.
One phrase from the old-time Zen book "Zenrin Ruiju" is drawn in good form.
The phrase means in literal translation that "A river runs with reflecting the light of the harvest moon".
It is pregnant with implications.
