Subject:Mountains and Calligraphy
Posted By: Andrea Sun, Jul 30, 2017 IP: 82.53.70.137 Is anyone able to translate this extensive calligraphy or to give me some indication of this painting acquired in Japan? Many thanks for your attention.

Posted By: mikeoz Mon, Jul 31, 2017 The text appears to be all in Chinese rather than Japanese. However, the painting is dated Showa 丁卯, which equates to 1927. The date then mentions Kagura which is a Shinto Harvest Festival usually conducted at the Imperial sacred sites.

Posted By: Rat Mon, Jul 31, 2017 Perhaps 1987 instead? The Showa reign lasted 62 years, until 1989
