Japanese Silk Painting - 1945 (or earlier)
27 March 2026
Description

My father purchased this silk painting in Kyota, Honshu, Japan on 11/25/1945 for $50US while stationed in Japan as part of the US Army Occupation Forces after WWII. He mailed it to his parents in Portland, Oregon . They hung it on a wall in the living room of their home. There was no direct sunlight on the silk painting. Artist, designer or maker of the artwork is unknown from observation of framed artwork. The back of wood frame is sealed with white paper. The silk painting appears to be in very good to excellent condition; it’s covered with sheet glass.
