Subject:What kind of art is this? What is the mark?
Posted By: GEE Wed, Oct 19, 2016 IP: 99.59.185.240
The sumarai character is not flat on the (silk?) or paper. It has seemingly embossed areas. For example, the tip of the sheath is gold and is textured with impressed lines. This embossed feature exists throughout the whole image, basically wherever you see folds in the clothing or features on the swords.

--Is this an actual style of art? What is it's name?

--What is the seal or mark?

--It doesn't look like this is paper, it looks possibly like silk?

If you look at the far right edge just left of the edge of the wood frame, you can see color blocks and grab blocks, which would indicate that it is machine printed. I have not taken the work out of the frame, so I cannot say for certain that these blocks are actually part of the art or simply a background or unassociated part of the framing.

The paper size is probably about 38H x 28W.
