Description from the seller
Appealing kakejiku 掛け軸 (hanging scroll) depicting two pieces of paper with an image of cherry blossoms and a kabuki actor, surrounded by ‘grass script’ calligraphy and with a pair of butterflies flying past at the bottom. Set on a moss green background. Details heightened by intricate silver and gold embroidery 刺繍 (shishû).
The image is printed in colour on silk, and thus finished with embroidery. Signature and seal in the print next to the blossoms reading 'Tadao ga' 忠雄画.
The mounting is made of striped and écru silk. The jikusaki 軸先 (rod ends) are of lacquered red wood
The image is in a very good original condition. The mounting with some traces of age and wear, like foxing and two small restored holes at the top. Please look at the photos for a condition reference.
