I love Japanese antiques, but perhaps even more, I love the descriptive translations of some of the items whose sellers are in Japan.
"Note: I think that this hanging scroll was written 60 years or more ago. this can call it YATIYOSISI famous also for kabuki of Japan -- it is . Very wonderful fine work is done. And aren't there those [ any ] who would not like you to see this picture without being? I was impressed by too much beauty. Please see well if you please.
This does not have a serious damage by a grade with some spot.
It can decorate immediately.
And I think that your room is matched."

I would be happy to let a side bite some if I knew how. And I'm American -- I love
"Note: This is the glass made in Japan.
