Hi, I have this "old" painting for a while, more than 20 years. It looks like it was on a support before ,probably on a kakemono. By looking at the theme, I am not sure if it is a Japanese or a chinese painting. Not sure for the stamp and the sosho signature either. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hello, Today I tried for the first time to translate one of my old numerous kakemono via GEMINI. According to the AI, artist is KATSUYAMA TAKU - end of XIXth century, Nagasaki school. Is it correct or is it completely off? Thanks

Thanks Steve.

and swallows maybe?

Hello, I have these 3 woodblock prints for years and never had them translated. I would appreciate any infos on the kanji meaning. I will post close up if needed. Thank you

Hi Jean, Thanks for the translation and sorry for the wrong orientation. Different AMAHIDE indeed. I was quite sure it was shinshinto and not WW2 Showa FUKUMOTO AMAHIDE. Original owner has vague translation and asked me if I could post his wakizashi here. He is following the answers here and is very gratefull for the past help you guys provided. I am more a gendaito guy and not of much help when it comes to older blades. Thanks again

Thanks everyone for the answsers. I will forward them to the owner, he will be glad. It has no blade, it is only a single piece of wood as I have been told. I came with other pieces on the attached photo.

Hello, Did any of you ever deal with this seller and can you recommend him? https://www.Japanese-sword-katana.jp/ His swords are nice, photos are well done, prices are decent. However his descriptions are very laconic. I don't see any of his description mentioning kizu or ware or any default. Owner seems to have a limited english so I would like to read experiences from members who already bought from him. Thank you
