Toryu2020 Posted February 14, 2013 Report Posted February 14, 2013 Gary - It may sound obvious but you are looking at seal script - I believe this is an homage and what you are seeing is 安親 : Yasuchika The animals appear to be a monkey and a water-dragon. The third thing looks like a missing ume-gane (plug) and not a feature intended by the artist. FWIW -t Quote

Nobody Posted February 14, 2013 Report Posted February 14, 2013 ............... The animals appear to be a monkey and a water-dragon. ........................ I think that one of them is not a monkey but a Shishi. FYI. http://www.book-navi.com/hokusai/art/joma1.html Quote
