Subject:Identification of a Japanese scroll painting
Posted By: Guy Wed, Dec 04, 2019 IP: 2a02:1810:4833:9600:
Seeking help for the identification of this scroll painting, dated Taishô 12, 9th month, 6th day (September 6 1923) This date is important because the Great Kantô earthquake took place on September 1st. Subject seems to be a depiction of the vast devastation after the earthquake.

I can't read the signature in cursive but the second seal possibly reads 貉山 (Kakuzan?) which could match with the the signature. First seal not read.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Guy.

Second seal reads 毅山，

I'll get back to you on the first seal later.
