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,

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,

The Koreans didn't officially abandon Kanji until 1949 or thereabouts, and there were all those G.I.s there for THAT war. It sorta even has a Korean "look" to it, now that I think about it.

Sat, 25 Jul 2009 04:58:25 +0000 http://word.reneodeay.com/archives/25#comment-40 A friend of mine has a very similar painting, with the same signature and the same inscription along the margins. I tried my best to decipher the kanji but it didn't seem Japanese to me. There's no hiragana or katakana and the syntax doesn't seem to make sense. So I started to suspect that these are actually Chinese. I showed the painting to a Japanese friend of mine (I'm an Anglo) and he came to the same conclusion. He was unable to decipher the kanji and thought that the structure seemed Chinese as well.

Actually each one of mine are slightly different. So the ones that are here on my blog are indicated by the alternate or title info, just hover over each one. What I have found out, so far, I have included in the post. Where did you acquire yours? Hi, Nikki,
