These two classic scroll paintings (Showa period, from 1926) with the lucky symbols Minogame at sunrise or cranes and the original wooden box belong together, ink painting, framed with silk mounts, signature and seal, size 206 x 30 cm each. The lacquered wooden sticks on the underside protrude to attach weights for tightening. Scroll paintings are very popular because they are easy to change (e.g. according to the seasons) and can be stowed away to save space. By the way: the national bird with the red spot on the head was almost extinct, now there are around 800 pairs again.
