What is this exactly? I can't find anything like it online. Thank you

I haven't a clue...it appears to be professionally framed.

 

Any idea what the kanji says or feedback? Especially confusing is the gold colored background.

 

Thanks in advance for your help; this is driving me nuts trying to figure it out.

Thank you, Thomas. I really appreciate it.

 

It was purchased by me in a upscale suburb for a reasonable price and what made me question it was the fact that I could not find another example online and the label on the back has the gallery of where it was professionally framed.

 

Wasn't expecting much, which sounds like it was prudent. ;)

In terms of painting style it reminds me of Taisho and Showa period work. As an artefact it looks to me to be a print from a book, the back cover perhaps. The kanji reads 'Sō', meaning to dwell or the Sung Dynasty. I doubt that's an artists seal, possibly a publishers mark?

Interesting. If you look closely, the images of the horses and riders appear cropped out. So probably cropped out of the picture of another work. I agree with Ford the back cover of a book.
