Subject:8 immortals silk art - help?
Posted By: Heather Wed, Mar 11, 2015 IP: 176.253.148.253

I have this art work which was my nana brought back from China. Any idea if it is worth anything or what I can do with it? It's far too big for my house.

Looks kind of Japanese oshi-e (pressend or relief picture) to me.

Thanks for your reply - what do you mean by pressend or relief?

For a description of Japanese oshi-e have a look link below but I think that this representation of the Eight immortals crossing the sea is rather Chinese or Taiwanese indeed.
