Subject:Japanese Scroll - Ink Painting
Posted By: Alexander May Mon, Jun 29, 2020 IP: 61.9.109.83

Hello,

I have this hanging scroll on ink on paper. May I get help on the box title and signature?

*I'll add additional photos of the work as a reply since it exceeds the 3 photos limit

Thank you

Thank you so much Nagy, this is very helpful.

Would you have an idea if 'Gyo Waterfall' is the name of an actual watefall?

This waterfall is called in full Dangyō-taki 断魚瀑
situated in the Ohnan District of Shimane Prefecture
(not far from Hiroshima). It is in a large scale (4 km) canyon called Dangyō-kei Gorge with other waterfalls along the Nigori-gawa River.

With regards,
