    Description

    See more info on Japanese Medals at;
    japanempiremedals
    Written using Sumi-e ink-charcoal on washi paper.
    About 3M long approx.
    Contains written explanatory comments (kotobagaki) and are designed to be viewed in sequence when unrolled from right to left. The handscroll made its appearance very early in East Asian pictorial art,
    narrative handscrolls and this is a WWII item found in a straw basket with flags pictures and pension documents and others.
    The writing  reflects the tastes of the soldier on various topics from the warrior (samurai) class, the sword, love for country etc.
    I do not have enough time to sit down and completely decipher this one but
    it is an excellent museum piece.
    Part of a collection owned by the family of
    Dr.Fujii from Fukuoka South West Japan.
