About this piece
One bold line of calligraphy on a field of blue silk.
This Japanese scroll in ink on paper is dated to the 19th century. Hanging scrolls with calligraphy are commonly displayed in a tokonoma alcove and changed with the seasons. Four large characters in thick, flowing black ink fill the central panel, with smaller lines of text and red seal marks beside them. A teal-blue patterned brocade frames the painting, and wooden rollers with red ends hold the bottom edge. The paper is pale and clean.
About 44 inches tall. It says more than most paintings and does it in black.
