Subject:Watercolor Painting need help Identifying origin
Posted By: Adam Tue, Oct 18, 2016 IP: 71.95.106.134 Hello, I purchased this little painting a few years ago at an estate sale in northern Oregon area, I am not good at being able to identify which country particular caligraphy styles come from so i really need some help here with this very nice little painting. It is done on artist board with a gold foil seal along edge and silver foil flecks on back, the frame is 100% hand made. Can anyone help me with identification or at least let me know if it is Japanese or Chinese so I know which direction to look in. Thanks for your time;) |

Posted By: rat Sat, Oct 22, 2016 I think that your translator friend is misreading a Japanese inscription and seal as if it was Chinese. She has given you Chinese pronunciation for the characters. In Japanese they will be different. The seal and inscription are most likely different names that the artist uses. |
