Japanese Scroll Painting For Sale/Bid

[Franco D]

This scroll painting was purchased at a garage sale many years ago with the intention of and in dire need of being remounted. That day never came and the nearby shop is now gone. So, I am placing this scroll painting for sale "as is" open to offers/bids for a period of one week beginning at the time of this post and ending on Saturday June 11th 2022 at 4 pm, with 100% of the proceeds/bid going directly to the Nihonto Message Board / Brian in the form of a donation for the full amount made directly by the buyer that places the highest offer/bid at or before the end time of this sale to the NMB. This sale is for U.S. destinations only and will include shipping paid by me within the United Sates via priority mail through the USPS. The opening price is $40.00 (USD). 

 

Aside from the tattered mount with one cracked ivory roller the painting itself is not torn or damaged besides a number of creases. The colors are still very good. The painting depicts what appears to be Chinese scholars writing poetry and or practicing their calligraphy next to a brook with cups of wine/sake (?) being floated down with the gentle flowing current. The approximate length of the painting is 6 feet. Please see the following images for additional details. Please resolve all questions before bidding.

This sale is final.

 

All corrections welcomed!

 

Thank you.

 

Kind Regards,

Franco

Thank you Franco!
That is a lovely scroll too. With minimal effort this would make a stunning piece. I am sure we can find a US proxy to accept it and reship at cost if someone overseas wants to pay for shipping.
Nice colours!

Truly a delightful piece.

If it is possible to ship this to germany, I would like to male my interest known, too.

 

Best regards, this a really beautiful painting

Can we have any volunteers in USA willing to accept delivery and ship overseas at paid cost?

Comment:

 

It should be explained that in the past I would have been willing to take on the responsibility of any accompanying hassles of dealing with cross border shipping and customs. However, because of health issues I simply cannot take on such possibilities any longer. That, in addition to the abnormalities of today's world.

 

Additionally:

 

It should also be mentioned that upon the successful sale/bid of this scroll painting, once Brian notifies me that the donation in the amount posted by the winner has been paid to the NMB, I will contact the winner via private messaging to obtain the necessary shipping information. 

 

In the case that this sale is not successful, this item will be withdrawn without any further commitment.

 

Thank you.

 

Kind Regards,

Franco
