These two classic scroll paintings (Japan, 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 mount, signature and seal, size 206 x 30 cm each. The varnished wooden rods on the bottom protrude to hang porcelain weights for tightening. Roll pictures are very popular because they can be easily changed (e.g. according to the season) and stored in a space-saving manner. By the way: the national bird with the red spot on the head was almost extinct, now there are around 800 pairs again.
