Hello,

I was hoping someone could help translate this hanging scroll, I assume Japanese but not sure.

It came in a wooden storage box that clearly has some age.

And as usual, thanks in advance for the help...this is a wonderful site

Bob

The scroll is Japamese, and the calligraphy reads,

為君葉々起清風　-　Kimi ga tame ni yōyō seifu wo okosu - The leaves are sending breeze for you
Signature,
壽山　雪哉　Juzan Sessai
Upper seal,
壽山　-　Juzan - Pseudonym
雪哉　-　Sessai - Art name of artist

Japanese painter born in Otawara, Shimozuke Province, Learned painting from Sugawara Hakuryu and
