Literally found not one thing to purchase today at the local sales, but did manage to pull this outta the free pile. I've always liked Japanese art, but aside from owning a few prints, know nothing about it. This is on silk cloth and the colors are gorgeous. No luck so far in figuring out what the title says (I'm assuming it is the title and the red box is the signature?), so for now, I guess I will be content to see it hanging on my wall!
