Dad was stationed in Japan or Okinawa (he went to both) in 1961 and brought this back home with him to Hawaii. I had never seen it before and thought the embroidery was stunning. Grandma taught me to embroider and I’ve never been this good. If anyone can tell me which direction it’s supposed to hang, I’d appreciate it. I think it’s supposed to hang the way I took the picture. The folks who matted and framed it thought it was supposed to hang 90 degrees different with the branch growing towards the right….

Hi guys, can anyone know how old is this xilography and translate how is written ? Thank you and what do you think about this

Thankyou!

Hi guys, I have found this, can anyone Translate for me how is written ?

I bought this at the toji market, e need to know the year, the artist and the value.

I inherited some Hokusai prints when my mother passed. They've been in my family for over 100 years. My wife and I cracked one open out of the frame and as you can see the print does not have margin on the left, right or bottom. There are no company seals or stamps on the back. I'm not an art expert so I'm not sure what else to look for, but trying to hire an art authenticator when you say have Hokusais is difficult. My Grandfather traveled to Japan in the early 1900s. I'm not claiming this is an original, but it would be nice to find someone who would be willing to take a look at it. If you know anyone in the Northern Virginia area who might be able to help, please drop a comment. Much appreciated

An elderly man gave this to me in the 1970s and it was old then. I've never seen one of these done on (what looks like) latticed paper thin wood. The second picture is of a faded red stamp that is about as good as looking at in person. Overall it is 22" high by 7-11/16" wide.

Any help would be appreciated.
