Subject:Indentification and Translation on gold painting of wind god?
Posted By: Steve Thu, Apr 04, 2024 IP: 2601:1c0:8483:1720:5

Hello All,

I have a painting that I am hoping for help in finding a little information on - particularly translating some characters on the right side of the painting.

I believe it is a Japanese painting of a wind god, but beyond that I am unsure about age or artist. I'm hoping the inscription on the right hand side will help someone decipher.

It is quite beautiful to my eye, but unfortunately somewhat damaged, and seems pretty old. Looking forward to any info one might have!

Thanks!

I'm still hoping someone here can read the characters on the right hand side, though I recognize that they are a bit cut off. I will re-attach a photo here.

Also - after some more research, It seems this is not the "wind god" but rather the thunder god, and that this is likely to be a woodblock print rather than hand painted.

Any further help reading the inscrition is greatly appreciated!
