This is a design for a kimono textile that has skillfully incorporated the stylized woven fabric texture as part of the design as seen in the central field of flowering iris plants. The upper field appears to be a design of snowflakes, and the lower of an abstract water pattern. This was probably a leaf from an album of kimono designs. The print is of very good color, impression and condition on very thick paper, with some odd nicks and small tears on the edges, but not affecting the printed area.

The grain of the woodblock shows through the background of the kimono. Printed on mulberry paper and probably a leaf from a design album. There is a stain above the upper right sleeve, and a repaired 2 inch tear at the top of the leaf. The paper has yellowed slightly.

Originally used as a traditional folding fan, its creases are clearly visible as is also the wear and paper losses, particularly along the edges. The painting was removed from its bamboo supports many years ago and mounted on a scroll or screen. The mounting can be seen on the back and is also visible as a thin border along the front edges, and remnants of a mulberry paper backing are lightly attached to the back on top of the old scroll mounting paper. The scene is of two women in a garden. One holds a fan while the other is involved in writing with her calligraphy implements laid out on the stone in front of her. The colors – pinks, blues, reds, green and yellow, all pleasantly muted with age, are brushed onto an aged brownish yellow background.
Length: 17 ½ in., Height: 6 ¼ in.

This painting of mountains and dwellings is well-painted using traditional techniques that take the viewer from the house in the lower right foreground up through pine trees, rivers and a waterfall to the distant, hazy ink-washed mountains of the upper background. It is mounted on paper with a silk brocade surround and lacquered wooden rollers. The artist's signature is accompanied by a red seal and two spurious imperial collector's seals also in red. The condition is very good.
Painting size: Height: 51 in., Width: 24 7/8 in. Scroll size: Length: 77 in., Width: 27 in. Roller size: Length: 32 ½ in.
