Subject:Japanese Dragon Scroll
Posted By: Alexander May Fri, Jun 19, 2020 IP: 61.9.112.38
Hi, I recently acquired this Japanese hanging scroll with a dragon painted on silk.

I'm curious of the text and the artist if it's indicated.

Thank you

Wow that's interesting. I wasn't expecting it to be Korean since it was purchased from Japan.

Thanks as usual Nagy!
