Many thanks, Rat. About calligraphy, a friend from Japan wrote me this: "Poem of Lu You (1125-1210), prominent poet of China's Southern Song Dynasty. The writer is expressing a thought of staying away from fame, world liness, just stay at A quiet, peaceful place to live a life, and the second and third sentence are both a desirable and a fresh flowering flower,some little spring water, and make tea with bonfire". Also, looking at many pictures, I observed a similarity between the signature on the painting and the signature of Tomioka Tessai (see attached photo). But the style is not that of the great Japanese master. And the seals are different. But these similarities intrigued me. I am grateful for your attention. My greetings, Andrea
