A hand painted piece of art of a plum tree, painted with ink on makuri paper with sign and seal of the artist - late Meiji Period.
I tried to find out the name of the artist, but it is difficult to read. The painting has a real nice and sensitive touch. It is hard to find similar items like this amazing one.
The condition is good - there is only some unimportant wrinkle and stain which gives the artwork that special touch of a unique piece of art.
