I do know my fater-in-law bought the painting while in Japan during the invasion of Normady. He brought it home in a cardboard tube and had it framed after he arrived back in the states. He also bought one at the same time of a peacock painted on silk. Wish I could send a picture of it and the signature to someone who knows about such paintings during that period. I will keep watching for any post. I will leave my email address if someone is intrested in helping me with the identity of the artist. I also have a painting on silk of a tiger and her cub.

I have 7 silk paintings and am in search of someone that can appraise. Having no luck with ASA. I'm in the Wash. DC area. Thanks for any help. Rene,

I don't have any history - but it also has one right foot forward and it is coming directly towards you. May I send you a picture and you can compare it to your painting. If so, please let me know where I should send it. Thanks! Gail I have a lovely tiger silk painting that I acquired in the 60’s from my godparents.

Viewed by our best Asian Appraiser locally, he indicated they are from Japan. We were able to locate a signature on ONE of the paintings. He also stated paintings were done "in the '60's". (I had suspected '50's) If you could e-mail a photo of the "signtaure" on your two tiger paintings, I would be willing to "show them around" to those I know. I have a couple of friends, a dealer I know (he is from Japan), and a couple other "resources." Your paintings are lovely! Don Rene,

In this case, How the kanji was written is far more important than what kanji actually says for appraisal in this case. The style of calligraphy is typical 20C (mostly 1930-1960) Chinese painting. The way the calligraphy was presented with the painting is also typical way for Chinese way. Based on the material, and style of western watercolor influence, I guess it is one of the many most recent works done by Chinese in Japan or China produced for particular target customers, possibly western tourists or GI men. Real Japanese or Korean antique painting has different colors, angles, poses, brushing traces and framing. I am sorry but I guess you would want honest opinion. My appraisal value goes $100-150 if you are lucky to find anybody who would be willing to buy it. ( I mean Asian collector who knows what he is doing) Hi, that is not Japanese nor Korean.

The signature is the same. I'll continue to research, and keep you advised of any additional info. I'll share photos of same. Good Luck. THX.

Also on silk. Very much like your single tiger, but the opposite foot is forward. My father was stationed in Japan and part of the occupation force just after WWII and purchased it there. The signature is slightly different and I have a different stamp. I would love to know if you have learned anything more, or if you found a contact that could help. Thanks E Hi,
