Li Bai the drunken poet

[Nikolas]

First a big thanks to Morita san, who kindly translated the obverse of that Kozuka

 

Hello Gentlemen,

this kozuka i posted within a discussion, but i feel its better discussed here :D

 

as it is inscribed naoyuki and kao

maybe you can state your opinions about the theme, condition and workmanship.. is it suitable for hamano?

for me it looks quite convincing..but for the master himself

also on the front side, i havent figured out the kanji on the scroll: maybe date or measurement..

i get sho ten roku shaku ? ? jo yama

 

 

here is another one maybe also li bai?

inscribed naotoshi

please feel free to comment!

 

greetings!

Absolutely fits the Hamano school and the mei and kao are spot on, although, that is my opinion. John

Hi John,

here is a close up of the naoyuki signature.. for me also a good match..

 

may you have any clou about the reading of the scrolls incription :D

 

Greetings!!

It may be a Chinese saying; 不上山正夬六尺下; 'Do not climb mountains under 6 feet.' John

Thank you John!
