Subject:unkown Japanese painting
Posted By: Jacob Fri, Jun 23, 2017 IP: 79.113.223.136

Hello,

I would be very glad if someone could help me read the artists signature.

Its a painting on silk, unmounted. Could it be from the Meiji period ?

Thank you so much. Any information it would be much appreciated.

The characters are 雪蓬

You'll need someone else to render them in Japanese.

Signed and sealed 'Seppô'.

Eventually Nemoto Seppô (根本雪蓬 - born 1878). Compare with the signature on a six-fold screen, sold at bonhams

It is Nemoto Seppô.

Similar items were sold recently in Japan (for very modest prices):
