Subject:Need Help Identifying Artists for Painting
Posted By: Alicia Fusaro Sun, Oct 26, 2014 IP: 100.40.48.98

I acquired these from a family member. They were purchased during the Korean War and brought home by a US soldier. Any information about them would be helpful.

These are typical of the silk painting sold at kiosks along the Ginza in Tokyo in the early 1950s. Many servicemen bought them when they were on R&R in Tokyo because they were easy to roll up and carry. Most were produced in workshops employing masses of artists.
