Description

Looks to be ink and wash on I believe silk? I enclosed photos with the height and width on them.... also it does have some damage... again see attached photos.

Provenance

I purchased this beautiful screen this past summer in a tiny town in Northeastern Minnesota at an antique store... no idea of age.. I do know it’s Japanese... at least that is what I was told... would love some insight! Thank you so much for your time. Kind regards Tonya

What does this mean?

Thank you for submitting your item for appraisal. This appears to be a mid 20th century japanese folding screen. The inscription on the right is in parts hard to decipher, possibly referring to a mountaineous region in early summer. The written signature to the left might be an artist´s name, possibly " tired walk" (??) The artist seals are in parts so faint, that if wasn´t possible for me to identify the artist. The scratches within the paper are quite serious and can´t be restored. It is a well done ink wash drawing with faint traces of a preparatory pencil sketch visible. The estimate is based on similar folding screens by lesser known artist offered or sold at auction.
