Subject:Please Help? Chinese? Japanese? Japonsime?
Posted By: Maggie Tue, Aug 25, 2015 IP: 84.73.42.58 They were purchased together in Switzerland on the border of France...one of them is some sort of buddhist (?) diety and the other is a temple. I thought them to be Japanese but the signature as shown in the third picture doesn't seem to be Japanese characters. The diety seems to be holding lotus flower and has a Suavastika on her chest. |

Posted By: rat Sun, Aug 30, 2015 Woodblock prints or reproductions thereof, probably contemporary Chinese for the tourist trade as the pagoda seems very similar to the Longhua pagoda in Shanghai. |
